The first thing Enzo did when I walked in the door was drag me upstairs to show me his new bed and his shark sheet. "Daddy built it", he said. Then we drove over to the vet to pick up the dogs who were getting some shots and a flea bath. He was kind of crazy in the vet lobby. Shouting about the fish tank, and pretending to swim around like a fish. "swim swim swim swim stop! swim swim swim swim stop!" all the while doing this funny crouched walk, waving his hands and arms slowly, like swimming in slow motion.

We got back home, and made a late pasta dinner. He did well with his beefy bow ties while we watched some Planet Earth. A little after 7, we ran down the street to burn off some energy. Enzo took another nasty fall, but this time got his hand out in time and did not head his head, just a scraped knee, no tears. He's doing this funny thing with his arms, swinging them back and forth when he runs. He starts watching his arms instead of his feet, and the swinging throws him off balance.

We went straight up to bath after our walk, and then to bed. Same drill as last night. I read him books until my lantern lost it's charge, and then sat in the dark room with him until he fell asleep at nearly 9PM. It's a good thing that little chair of his is so incredibly uncomfortable or I'd still be up there asleep next to him.

We went out for breakfast and it was touch and go the entire time, then we went to the Hollywood farmer's market. The produce is unbelievable right now, but Enzo did not appreciate it. He perked up when we sat down in front of the balloon man and he made him a fish. Coincidentally we sat next to one of his PO classmates.

After the market we came home and hung out. We had a snack, played in the pool and made music with his harmonica and violin. At one point he fell forwards in the pool flat on his face, and he jumped up, sputtering and laughing and said, "I'm crazy! I'm kookoo!" He even did the finger motion next to his head for "crazy" He took a bad tumble down the sidewalk and hit his head on the pavement with a big thump. We brought him back inside and put some ice on the giant goose egg that was forming but he recovered pretty easily.

Mommy went grocery shopping while daddy and Enzo put his new Ikea chair together. Daddy calls it, very appropriately, Enzo's "throne", and when Enzo wants the shade to be pulled down, he says, "privacy please!"
Enzo watched a movie while daddy put his new big boy bed together and mommy got dinner together. When he first saw his bed, he yelled, "I'm excited!"

It was tough putting him to bed, though. We did our usual routine of bath, books then teeth. When we turned out the light and left, he totally freaked out and started crying, which he never does. He sounded so distressed that we went back in there. Mommy ended up sitting next to him, talking with him until he finally fell asleep an hour later. he did say some funny things, though - "Lie down, Buzz and close your eyes, right now! (mimicking mommy); "I'm yawning like Totoro"; "Daddy is downstairs making coffee" Hopefully he will get used to his big boy bed soon.

We all went to play miniature golf this morning with Gabeluke and Jack, then had lunch in the clubhouse after. Enzo got to use his fancy new putter, and he was very excited. He managed to make a few good shots, even though he was more interested in picking up the ball to drop in the hole and going in and out of the various little buildings. He ate an entire plate of chicken nuggets for lunch and flirted with the waitress.

We got home just in time for an epic 2 1/2 hour nap for Enzo (and mommy and daddy) When we all got up, we headed out to Ikea for the rest of his big boy bed. Even though Ikea on a Saturday afternoon is sort of a nightmare, we did pretty well. As we were walking around we passed a giant guy pushing his cart. Enzo looked up at him and said to us, "that's a big man!" We were mortified and ran away. We had a nice dinner afterwards at CPK and finished our night with an ice cream cone from Ikea. We got home just in time for bath and bed.

Enzo and I ran the dogs to DDC when Zoe went to work. We stopped for a Jamba Juice and hot dog bagel. And then straight to school.

Enzo had such a good day today. Never asked to go home or got upset about anything, not even a little. He played inside today mostly, explaining that it was hot outside. About halfway through class, Enzo picked one of the baby dolls. I explained to him that he had to very gentle, and he asked if this doll was like the baby in mommy's tummy. I told him yes, and then he walked around to all the adults in the class, showing them the baby. "It's from mommy" he said. "hugging the baby, kissing the baby. baby sitting here" and on and on for about 45 minutes. He also asked if we could keep the baby in daddy's tummy.It was very sweet, and he was soooo gentle with the baby.

After class, the housekeeper was still here, so we to get an order of fries for Enzo. He sat on the potty right when we got home. Was definitly waiting to use it.

When Alex went home, Enzo and I drove out to get the dogs, and to grab some dinner. Enzo had a nice phone call with Zoe, who is on call tonight. It was late when we got home. Enzo quickly ate some of his burrito, and then upstairs for bath and books.

When we got home tonight, both Allie and Enzo were excited to give us news about his potty progress. He was excited to see pictures of his new big boy bed mommy bought today that daddy is picking up tomorrow. He was very happy also about his new shark sheets.

We went to the Thursday market in search of Blenheim apricots for mommy but we didn't find any. Enzo had french fries and a shave ice for dinner. He also found a pill bug, and nice rock to climb up and jump off of (30 times). We ran into two of his new classmates from school.

When we got home Enzo had a quesadilla and a shared a perfect peach with mommy. It was a fun bath, then books and bed. Right before daddy put him in his crib, he giggled and said, "get lost daddy!"

Enzo and I went home and got ready for his first day at Pacific Oaks parent-toddler class we're doing. We have class twice a week for a couple hours in the morning. A lot like Waldorf, but outside and more physically challenging environment. He's doing to 2-yo program there also in the Fall.

He was excited when we got there, and couldn't believe all the great stuff to climb on and play with. I was trying to sit on the side and let him do his thing, but he kept dragging me around to "look daddy" at all the things he discovered. He didn't interact much with the other kids, but was really comfortable with the instructor. He was having so much fun that he skipped group snack. I paid for that later. With about 10 minutes to go, he got very tired and hungry too, and started into his "back home" mode. On the way to the car, I asked him if he fun. He said, "no. cried."

When I saw Enzo later in the afternoon, he ran up and said, "had fun at nice new school". He and I ran down the street while mommy whipped up some dinner. After we ate mommy broke out the $12 shave ice maker, she got in j-town. So good. Enzo of course had to "do it self".

We went for another walk to look for Jack and pill bugs. We found neither. Enzo really started to tank on the way home. We poured his bath early but he was exhausted and upset after his big day with two hours less sleep than usual. We managed to clean him up and get him dressed without letting him hurt himself. Once he got his milk, he settled into some new books that Zoe got today. He could barely keep his eyes open for the last one, and was relieved to be put in his crib.

When Enzo came home with Allie today he was very chatty and in a good mood. He told us about his afternoon at the park. Daddy and Enzo were wrestling on the couch, and he got kind of annoyed with me. "Come on Ralph. What's this all about? Let's all calm down". He watched a little Totoro while daddy grilled short ribs and mommy got the rest of dinner ready. He ate a big dinner and was chipper the entire time. After dinner we took a nice walk with the dogs while he munched on a pop. We walked by the Pfleegers to check out their new landscaping and Enzo said, "say hi to Wesley? say hi to Eric?" but they weren't home.

We dropped off the dogs at home and Enzo went tearing down the driveway and the sidewalk. He was hyped up from the pop and luckily we ran into Jack and his dad and the two of them proceeded to run around the end of the street and around one of our neighbor's yards for half an hour. They had matching crocs on, they found matching pill bugs, they chased each other around and were chatting and screeching and had a great time. They were so cute! When we finally scooped him up to take him home for his bath he waved bye to Jack and told us, "had fun running around with Jack!"

We got home for a fun bath, books and bed without any protest.

Enzo called me a work to ask me to come home right now. So I did.

Mommy and Enzo were playing in the front yard when I got home. I got a big hug, and he told me take my bag off my shoulder right away. We had a quick dinner, then walked down the street. Enzo bumped into Jack, and they talked about Enzo's Harriet t-shirt. When we got back to the house, Enzo climbed up on the planter, and then jumped off. He did this over and over about 20 times, each time saying "jumped like a man" when he landing safely on the ground about 10 inches below.

We watched some Planet Earth, then had a cool bath. Enzo is really into laying down and "swimming" in the tub. He started splashing us, so we splashed him back. He kept saying, "what happened?" when the water hit his face.

He finally calmed down with his milk and a few stories from mommy, and then to bed.

After that it was quite possibly the laziest day ever. We ichatted with A-ma and Enzo was able to say hello in Chinese to her. When she asked him what he had been up to, he answered, "I peed on the floor and ate all daddy's chips". We tried a little experiment with trying to keep his diaper off and just his underwear on, and asked him to let us know when he needed to go on the potty. He was very good at letting us know...as he was peeing. On the couch, on the floor. Needless to say, the experiment was over in about 15 minutes.

We watched some Planet Earth and some of a surfing movie; we had a picnic in the living room and had lunch; we went in and out of the pool and dove and slid and jumped and swatted bees away. A couple times, Enzo went striaght over the front of his "surf board" and face first into the water. We ichatted a little with Grandma Dee even though Enzo did not have much to say.

Enzo and mommy fell asleep on the couch...unfortunately that nixed any chance of a proper nap later in the day. He got a little crazed as the day wore on but was funny and cute and happy.

Jack visited a little bit later with his mommy and Enzo had dinner. He started asking for his milk a little early so we knew his no nap day was catching up with him. It was an easy bath, books then off to bed.

It only got hotter and hotter after that. We made it out of our cool, dark house a few times to try to get in the pool only to get chased away by the bees who were interested in the pool water as well. We took a very short walk down the street, and the heat deterred even Enzo who is usually pretty oblivious. He took a nice long nap in his dark air conditioned room.

We had a fun bbq tonight with his best friend from Waldorf, Chloe, and her parents. Mommy made awesome fish tacos and the kids ran around naked in and out of the pool. Wes and her parents came over as well. Enzo and Chloe are amazing to watch together - they have funny conversations, hug each other, kiss each other, generally manhandle each other in a way that would probably make other kids cry, only these two are laughing and carrying on the entire time. So cute.

After everyone left, Enzo ate a second diner of noodles. We had a fun, long, shallow tepid bath then lots of books and bed. Its supposed to be hot like it was today until Tuesday.

When mommy got home later in the afternoon, she and Enzo played in his kitchen and drew on the chalkboard, played in his pool and fended off bees with the hose. At one point he looked up and said "want to talk to daddy right now" so they called on the phone and Enzo said, "daddy, come home TODAY. Come home right now. Enzo is talking to daddy" So daddy packed up and came home. The first thing daddy did when he got home was play the harmonica that fell in the toilet. He dropped it as soon as mommy told him where it had been.

We headed out to fetch the dogs and get burritos. It was oppressively hot. Enzo was doing pretty well until he spied a carton of guacamole, at which time he abandoned the burrito and started eating forkfuls of guacamole. In the pet store he spied a little green lizard that was eyeballing him, and said, "hi cutie face!". On the drive home, he asked to have Harriet sit with him, and then asked for Betty.

We stopped at the park on the way home to run around. He got super hot and sweaty in the 15 minutes we were there. We had a nice tepid bath when we got home, then books and bed.

Zoe was home early and daddy home late. Zoe took Enzo to the market but he said he didn't want to leave the car, too hot. Then they went to the grocery store, but he was nuts, and running all around. When I got home, we got him to sit and eat a bowl of noodles. Enzo told me to get up out the seat next to him, so mommy could sit down instead. He was talking non-stop.

We all shared a cup of chocolate pudding, and then went for a quick walk. We had to stop next door to drop off yet another Amazon.com box that was mistakenly left at our house. I think the UPS guy sees an Amazon box for La Loma, and just assumes it's for Enzo.

Enzo's new favorite word is "agapanthus", and he pointed them as we walked. Enzo ran out ahead as per usual, and then turned to play go-stop. We got back for a late bath time. He was really tired tonight, and was upset about his bath. Before bed, we looked through a book about the Hawaiian Islands. He liked the photos of the baby turtles.

When mommy got home from work, Enzo was in a fine mood, running around the house in just his diaper. He immediately took her hand and said, "have to go to the kitchen (his play kitchen). hungry mommy? make you a pizza" then he grabbed his toy boom and said "clean up this mess"

They had a nice afternoon hanging out, playing with trains and reading books and watching a little toy story. He was happy to see daddy when he got home, and we all sat down for a dinner of sliders and salad. Enzo was not particularly hungry, so he spent a lot of time trying to convince us to let him watch a movie. "Want to watch something, guys! Come on, guys." When we said no, he turned to Betty and said, "I'm upset about dinner. Something happened, Betty" then he turned to us and said "I'm upset, guys" We tried hard not to laugh but he looked so serious we gave in and he might have watched a little Nemo on daddy's iphone.

After dinner, we went for a walk and found a cool green beetle that walked up and down Enzo's arm. We trespassed in Jack's yard again and Enzo took another dip in the pool. We got home just in time for bath, books and bed.

I fixed Enzo dinner of leftovers and mac-n-cheese when I got home at 5:30. As we say for dinner, Enzo said, "mommy coming home in about two minutes", but I had to explain that mommy wasn't coming home until tomorrow morning. Enzo was upset about that, but he managed to eat a decent meal.

After dinner, Enzo wanted to play the cello, and told me to "clap daddy" after each song.

We went for a short walk down the block to see Jack's pool. Enzo played in it for a minute or two, but then wanted to go back home. He asked me carry him back rather than run all the way like he usually does. Back home we watched some Blue Planet, and then took a bath. He wanted to read Frog & Toad tonight cover to cover before bed.

Enzo came home after mommy and daddy did, soaking wet from his adventures in the Kidspace river. He was in a great mood, "I jumped up and down in the river!"

We had a great dinner - Enzo ate a ton of ribs and broccoli and rice and in the middle of dinner, looked up at mommy and said, 'like it, mommy!" We took a long walk with the dogs after dinner. After our walk it was the usual bath, books then bed without a peep from him. He seemed really tired tonight and quite happy to finally lie down.

Its official - Enzo is going to have a baby sister at the end of the year!

After breakfast we spent a long time in front with his Jack pool. We spied some hummingbirds so we went to the garden store to but a feeder; on our way there the wildlife capture people called and said they were on their way to lay the traps so we had to hightail it back. Enzo and daddy watched as the guy laid the traps and fixed the holes. Enzo was following the guy around trying to show him the crab on his shirt.

After that we went out to run some more errands and tried to talk Enzo into test driving a toddler bed. No dice. We had some yogurt and went grocery shopping. In the store Enzo kept saying "Happy daddy day" and giving lots of kisses to daddy.

When we got home it was straight to bed for a nearly 2 1/2 hour nap. When he woke up we headed straight back into the pool. He loves to take off his diaper and lay belly down in the water and say, "Enzo's wee wee under water!" We played in the backyard, and threw the ball and climbed around on the play structure. Daddy killed a black widow spider while he was out there grilling.

We ran inside to watch the last few minutes of the US Open, and Enzo asked to watch the footage of Tiger Wood's final putt of the tournament over and over. "Tiger man!"

We had a nice dinner of BBQ chicken and corn. Mommy even bought little tiny drumettes for Enzo, which he liked very much. After dinner, we walked around the neighborhood with a pop and visited everyone who was out walking their dogs. We heard a coyote on the next block and all the dogs going nuts. "Too many nature," Enzo said about all the wildlife today.

After our walk it was straight to bath, then books and bed. A very sweet daddy's day for Enzo. Daddy has a father's day golf date tomorrow.

He sat on the couch when we got home, and asked to watch something. We tried to ask him what was wrong. He didn't have an explanation, just "i'm grouchy". Zoe asked him if he was sour, and he said "i'm sour and spicy."

We finally got him out of the house, and we went and played in Jack's pool again. He had so much fun that mommy went and bought him one. It was getting close to nap by the time mommy got back. He played for a bit more, and then needed some sleep.

After nap, we played again in the front yard pool. We let him run around naked, and he seemed to like that.

Zoe had a work dinner to go to tonight, so I took Enzo up to see Wes. They were having a little bbq. There a few kids there, but Enzo stayed to himself, playing with the doll house and then running around on the front hill. There was this little gnome in the flower bed that he couldn't stop playing with. When a plane flew by overhead, Enzo help the gnome up so he could too. He did sit and eat a few ribs and some corn. And then half a huge chocolate chip cookie. As we left, he said "bye guys" to everyone, and "thanks for dinner".

He watched Totoro for a minute before bath and then bed. Easy night.

Mommy let Enzo drive her car when she got home. He found a quarter in the arm rest, picked it up, and said, "george washington!".

When I got home, I took Enzo out to get he dogs while mommy got some rest. As we walked out of PetSmart, he said "love harry betty". We tried to eat some dinner, but Enzo was more interested in being totally nuts, and jumping off the side table onto the couch.

So I brought him in the back yard to play with the hose and throw the ball for the dogs. We also spent a lot of time climbing around on the playwell. We found a big dead beetle that he couldn't leave alone. He likes bugs. Luckily mommy had just bought a little rubber beetle earlier at the japanese market, so we made the switch.

He continued being totally bananas right up until bath time. Talking non-stop, throwing stuff, flopping around, running and diving into the couch. Just plain crazy.

He finally settled after his bath and a few stories.

Back home, we ate pancakes and sausage and threw ball betty harry.

When Enzo saw me come through the door, he ran in circles in the living room screaming. When I knelt down, he circled around and ran into my arms for a big hug. Ugh, it felt so good. Then he pulled away, looked me right in the eye, and said "i'm freaking out!" and laughed.

I took him to the farmers market to meet Eric and Wes, but they weren't there. Enzo walked around looking, "where's eric and wesley?" We usually split a chicken quesadilla, but tonight he ate the whole thing himself. He walked around, mouth stuffed with huge bites, saying "i'm so hungry. i'm so hungry." I got a few looks from the surrounding parents. We sat on the curb watching the bubble guy while we ate our shave ice, and then headed home.

I let Enzo watch a few minutes of Totoro while I ran his bath and took the trash cans to the curb. We had nice easy bath, books and beyond.

Enzo was really sweet tonight. He really wanted to be close to me - putting his shoulder on my head as I carried him, holding my hand as we walked, sitting in my lap while he ate dinner, climbing on me, hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and "forehead". I don't think he went beyond arms reach all night. Little bug.

After work, mommy made Enzo's all-time favorite pancetta pasta, and he devoured it. The we went for a walk down the block. It was like any other walk until Enzo noticed a shallow pool and slide in Jack's front yard. He ran up the steps, sat down to take off his shoes, then as he stepped into the pool, he turned to me and said, "i'm excited!". We trespassed for about 20 minutes while Enzo wallowed in the water. He laid flat, saying "i'm sleeping in the water", and then tried to splash me.

Zoe walked home to get a towel, and then we finally dragged him out. His teeth were chattering and his diaper swelled up to ten times it's normal size. We stripped him naked, and Zoe carried him home.

He watched a few minutes of Totoro, then bath and bed.

We thought it might be nice to have a picnic in the front yard tonight. Our kitchen sink is stopped up, so we ordered a pizza. It turned out to be pretty hard to keep Enzo in one spot long enough to eat. Inside, outside, out the gate, around the side of house, on my back, running, rolling, jumping. I got a little irritated with him when he ran out of the gate, so I stopped him a told him to go sit and eat. He ran back into the yard, saying "eat dinner! make daddy happy!" Eventually he sat in my lap and ate some dinner.

We took the dogs for a walk, and then came back to watch a little Totoro before bath. He was really sleepy tonight, and seemed relieved when we put him in the crib.

After work, Enzo was actually kind of crazy, and earned himself a timeout for dumping water all over the floor. Maybe he was just a pain because he was hungry. Mommy made him a big bowl of piccolini wheels, and he scarfed them down.

We lured Enzo into the stroller with a chocolate mushroom, and then went on a nice long walk with the dogs. Enzo kept dropping little toys onto the street, asking a minute later "where's my penguin?" Daddy had to walk back and find them.

At home, Enzo watched Alligators All Around, and then took a bath before bed.

When mommy got home, we attempted to drive to a toy store in Montrose, but there was some huge farmers market and no parking, so we bailed. We got a present for Kyle atthe dinosaur shop, and Enzo might have picked another toy as well. "want the surprise right now please mommydaddy"

We didn't have time for a nap, so we went straight to the party. Enzo had a blast running around, jumping on the trampoline, and leaping in the ball pit. He went strong for about 90 minutes before finally crash and burn. We struggled to keep him awake on the way home, and put him down for nap. He didn't sleep long and was upset when he woke up.

We spent the rest of the afternoon just wallowing around the house, playing with betty, and throwing the ball in the front yard. Soon it was bathtime and bed.

After some lunch, Enzo went down without a fight for a 2 hour nap. He woke up in a bad mood, kicking the crib. He started crying as we went in to get him and when we asked him why he was crying, he answered, "took a poopoo". He was upset about his poop in his diaper.

We played with the dogs in the pool and in the backyard for a while. At one point Harriet jumped in the water with him and laid down. He pointed at her backside and said, "Harry's bottom", and daddy said, "yes, Enzo, that's Harry's bottom." Enzo answered, "its scary" We both laughed out loud.

We took a nice walk then had Indian food for dinner because mommy had to have it for some reason tonight. Enzo took one bite of chicken tikka masala and said, "what IS that?" and would not take another bite. He was happy with his leftover lunch that we scrounged up for him instead.

After dinner, Enzo and mommy watched as daddy tried to lure the giant raccoon out from under the house. After an unsuccessful attempt, we took a nice bath, then books, then bed. Enzo really enjoyed Yertle the Turtle tonight.

After work, we grabbed Enzo and went out for a burrito. Enzo told mommy about seeing tadpoles today. When she asked if he liked the tadpoles, Enzo said, "stepped on them!". We were shocked but then he clarified, saying he stepped on the rocks around the stream where he saw them.

Back home, we watched something calm down, and then upstairs for bath and bed.

Enzo met mommy in the garage with a squeal when she drove up. So excited to see her. We scooped him up and went to the market. It was kind of nuts tonight. So many people. We ate dinner quickly and then got Enzo a shave ice for the car ride home.

We played with the dogs again, and then Enzo sat with mommy to watch the Hat before bath. We read books, and then to bed.

Enzo had to do everything himself today - "do it self!" he says. He put on his shoes, climbed in the car seat, buckled the car seat, and put on his pajamas.

When I got home from work, Enzo gave me a big hug, and then dragged me into the living room to "sit with enzo" on the floor to draw with a pen he pulled from my pocket. Then we played bump in the road. I let me watch some bug movie while I warmed up some leftover curry.

Zoe helped Enzo eat a big dinner, and then we went for a walk down the block to return a jet that Enzo borrowed from Jack the other day. We bumped into this old woman who we see walking all the time. Enzo happened to say something about harriet. And it caught her attention, and she said - my name is harriet. We told her we had a boston terrier named harriet. And like every person over 70 I've ever met, she said - oh, I had a boston terrier when I was a child.

We went straight up to bath, and then some books before bed.

We asked Alex to come a little late this morning because mommy had the day off. She had to rest all day because of her procedure yesterday so she hid out upstairs while Alex had Enzo all day. It was fun eavesdropping on them - they really have a good time together. There was a lot of laughing and screeching going on.

Mommy came out of hiding later in the afternoon to start on dinner and Enzo was happy to see her. They threw the ball for Betty and Harriet and Enzo was in hysterics every time they jumped in the pool after the ball. When daddy got home they had dinner - mommy made Japanese curry rice and even though Enzo proclaimed it "spicy!" he also said "sounds delicious!" when he first sat down at the table. He ate a ton, which made mommy very happy.

After dinner, we played in the front yard with Buzz lightyear and took a walk. He finds sticks along our walks and then plays "violin" with them. We need to find him a toy violin. Then we played in the backyard. Enzo had fun "climbing like a monkey" on the monkey bar.

It was the usual bath, books and bed. He was very sweet and affectionate all day today.

When we got back from the west side, Enzo was down the street walking with Alex. He had no shirt on.

He came through the door, and was happy to see us both home. We played out back, spraying the hose for Betty, and then came inside to sit with mommy. We sat on the couch to eat dinner, and then ate a popsicle in the front yard. We got a little rough with buzz lightyear, and broke one of his legs off. I thought Enzo would be upset about the broken leg, but what he really got upset about was that I wouldn't let him break the other one off.

We went back inside to watch some bug movie, eat a few more bites of pasta, and then up to the bath. Enzo made Zoe read How Many Fish four or five times, and then he was off to bed.

We started out our day heading out to b.l.d. for breakfast. The last time we were there, Enzo was still taking a 9am nap and we used to eat while he snoozed in his baby car seat. He had fun and ate his breakfast. We were so full after breakfast we abandoned our plans to go to the Hollywood farmer's market and headed home. On the way home, Enzo asked daddy to buy him a turtle and seal to bring home.

We watched some bug movie and rolled around in the living room. Daddy and Enzo went to the park for awhile, then he took his usual weekend epic 2 1/2 hour nap. We woke up just in time to head over to the Metcalf's for Luke's 2nd birthday party.

Enzo had the best time! He loved jumping around in the jumper and wrestling with Gabe, eating cupcakes, whacking the pinata, the big bag of candy he got afterwards, his first-ever Smarties and Skittles, and he loved his matchbox cars in his goodie bags. He told Katie as we left, "thank you, I had a nice time".

He didn't eat much dinner at Gabeluke's, so we stopped to pick up a hamburger and some fries on the way home and he devoured them. We watched a little bug movie, then had a nice bath, some books, then bed.
