After breakfast at Heirloom, we headed down to Manhattan Beach. We got there about 10:AM and the parking lot was almost full already. It was such a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky, but not too hot, and a breeze off the ocean. We dragged Enzo in the overstuffed wagon across the sand, and set up our stuff.

Enzo and I immediately dug a big hole to play in with his new shovel and claw diggers. After some time in the hole, we went back up to see mommy and to refuel. Enzo grabbed his shovel and we went to the waters edge, and played in the surf. Enzo was fearless today, wanting to drag me closer and closer to the waves breaking on the beach. He loves to sink down into the sand as the waves go washing over his feet back out to sea. Zoe came down to play in the cold water too. After nearly pulling his little arm out of the socket many times trying to avoid incoming breakers. We went back to rest in our chairs.

Maya and family came as we were eating some lunch. Enzo took me a walk down the beach, and then it was back to the hole, and then back into the surf. Before we realized it, it was already 2:PM. Enzo was exhausted after four hours of playing in the sun, sand, and surf. He fell asleep instantly after getting in the car. Unfortunately he only slept about 30 minutes, waking up right before we got home.

He was sooo tired but wouldn't go back to sleep in his crib. So we came downstairs to watch some Planet Earth, and then we played in the front yard again. After a snack, we went for a long walk. We were hoping he'd fall asleep in the stroller, but he never did.

When we got home, Enzo was starting to seem really out of it. He wouldn't eat, and by 6:PM he was very upset and could barley keep his eyes open. He also seemed to be running a fever. We gave him some Tylenol and put him to sleep at about 6:45, but he only slept for an hour.

When he woke up, he was upset and seemed to be ever warmer. Finally after about a hour of crying, we gave him a bath, and got him settled down again with a few stories. He wanted to back to sleep around 9:PM, but then only slept for another hour. He cried softly in his crib for about 15 minutes before falling back asleep on his own.

He's been waking up every 30 minutes crying since then. Going to be a long night.
