Enzo woke up for some reason at 11 pm last night and was up for 45 minutes again. When we finally put him back into the crib (after some milk, some Nemo and a looooong time on the potty), we heard him start crying again. We knew he was fine, because we had just spent 45 minutes with him, so we let him cry it out. He asked for daddy, then mommy, then in a last desperate attempt, asked for Alex. He drifted off to sleep not too long after that.

Because Enzo has gotten into the unfortunate habit of asking to watch a video in the morning with his milk (not the worst thing in the world when he wakes up at 6 am in the morning, mostly because mommy and daddy can snuggy with him on the couch and get another 20 minutes of sleep), we tried a different tactic this morning and brought him into our bed for his milk. It was so nice, to cuddle with him and read to him first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, it was so nice that when Zoe finally looked at the clock, she realized she had 15 minutes to get herself together and get out of the house.

I took Enzo to Cindy's for a quick breakfast, and then back to the house to meet Alex.

Later in the morning, I watched Enzo for about an hour while Alex ran an errand. He was unusually mellow an focused. For nearly 30 minutes, he sat in my lap facing me while driving this little train up and down my arms and around the back of my neck. I just sat there staring at him while he whispered his little play-by-play narrative. The game was to try to make the train do the whole trip without losing the man and two anchovies that were driving.

Then we played in the living room with some trucks and little foam beads for dirt. He stopped playing with trucks and spent some time trying to stick them between his toes. When he finally had all four wedged in, he stood up and said "show mommy?" When I explained that mommy was at work, he sat down and said "miss mommy."

Enzo was in a sweet mood when mommy came home from work and showed off all his trucks. We had dinner then went off for a ride in his wagon to pass out some invitations for his birthday party next month. We stopped by to say hi to Jack then visited Wes and Nacho. Both Enzo and Wes had a great time watching Harriet and Betty run around after Nacho. When we got home we watched a short video on mommy's iphone then had a nice bath. After bath it was his usual milk and books. Tonight he revisited his old favorite, Zin Zin Zin Violin.
