enzomatic: fairy tears

We had a long family snuggle this morning in bed, then went downstairs to eat some cantaloupe. We made another morning trip to the bakery for a coffee and pastry. Enzo flirted with a table of old women.

Alex took Enzo for a couple hours, and then I took him up to school. We stopped for a hot dog bagel on the way up, but Enzo wasn't too interested. He didn't sleep before class, which made me nervous but he ended up having a really good day — playing by himself and interacting pretty well the other kids.

I thought it was going to be the best school day we'd ever had until Enzo swallowed a polished glass gem (aka, fairy tears) about the size of a dime. I saw him put it in his mouth, so I reached out to grab his arm as he walked by. He spun away from me, lost his balance and landed flat on his back. He started to choke, so I spun him around and thumped him on the back a few times. Too late, it was gone. Scared the shit out of me and him. We managed to pull it together to finish up class, and I brought Enzo home and put him to sleep. Or so I thought.

Nanny Note: In the morning we went to the park. Enzo picked flowers and we watched a bulldozer and dump truck. We played at Kidspace for a while then came home. Enzo didn't sleep much today. he was talking to himself in his bed and I heard him say poopoo, so I changed him. I took him to the park and he slept a little. We played there for the rest of the day.

Enzo was tired and fussy tonight, so we just chilled with some rat movie, and ate dinner on the couch. He liked his leftover pasta again tonight. We went for a short walk before bath. He got upset because I wouldn't let him bring his rake into the house, and cried through his bath. Tired boy drank his milk and listened to a few stories before going to bed a bit early.
