Zoe got called in last night to the hospital, so I had to explain to Enzo in the morning why mommy wasn't in bed. He wasn't happy about it. He settled down with his milk, but then just got cranky for no reason. Telling the dogs to get off the bed, kicking his blankets around. I asked what's wrong, he said "i'm grouchy".

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.
