Enzo and I went Peets to get coffee and a hot dog bagel. It was tough to eat because Enzo was running all over the place. I finally stuck him back in his car seat, and he gnawed on his bagel on the way over to the park.

We were the first ones at the park. Enzo sat and dug a hole with his shovel and played with him dump truck for a long time before deciding to climb around a bit. There were a bunch of kids and parents there by the time we left.

Zoe got home after her long night and hung out with Enzer while I went to the Waldorf parent teacher meeting this morning. They watched a little Totoro and chatted and shared a scone.

When I got home we all jumped in the car and drove out to Woodland Hills for Elijah's first birthday party. We thought Enzo would fall asleep in the car but he was wide awake the whole time. We were very nervous, but Enzo did great at the party. He ran around like crazy, played with all the toys and games, jumped in the bouncy castle, and eyeballed the other kids. He said, "happy birthday Elijah" and met a cute girl named Gigi. He ate pizza and cake and was happy the whole time we were there. It really was a great party.

He got a short nap in on the ride home; unfortunately mommy fell asleep in the back seat with him and jerked while her hand was on his forehead (to keep his head from lurching forward every time we stopped the car in traffic) and this woke him up after only a 25 minute nap. We got home just in time and calmed him down, but he did not get any more sleep.

I took him to the park for awhile so that Zoe could get a little nap in - she did not sleep at all last night. When Zoe woke up, we went out for Mexican food and Enzo had a great dinner of beans, avocados rice, and a little cheese quesadilla. We ran some errands after dinner, and jumped straight into the bath when we got home. He was cute in the bath and was able to say his whole name correctly for the first time "De-Fe-leeeece!" A few books and a little milk and he was off to bed with no protest at all.
