three hour nap

Enzo was up a few times last night, and wouldn't let me leave him alone again, so I crashed in his bed for a few hours. Such a slippery slope.

We were up early, and then drove out to pick up Zoe from work. We stopped in Pasadena for a coffee, and then back home to play in the front yard. Enzo and I had a war of the hoses. He blasted me right in the chest with his hose on the jet setting, and I gave it right back with mine set on soaker. "come on ralph! dont do that!"

He started getting fussy around noon, so we brought him up to bed for a nap. We both laid down with him to read stories, and then both fell asleep. I woke up about three hours later with this sweaty little boy clutching my arm with his leg draped over me. We woke him up, so we'd have some hope of getting him to sleep tonight before 9PM.

We drove up to Montrose to get dinner and buy Enzo an Emi doll. We're hoping that it will help him get used to the idea of having another baby around. When we first gave it to him in the car, he was definitely uncomfortable, but he warmed up to it quickly, and soon was calling it Emi.

Back home, we played with toys and went for a few walks, and then up the stairs for a late bath. It took a long time to get him to sleep again. Zoe laid down with him until he fell asleep, and then tiptoed out. I'm sure he'll be again later.
