well...

We had a fun day with Enzo. We went out to breakfast, and then to Ikea to scope out some guest room furniture and a little bed for the baby Emi doll. Enzo did pretty well for going from car seat to high chair to car seat to shopping car to car seat again, but he was pretty antsy by the time we finally got home.

He was dying to stretch his legs, so we chased him around and around the house with this giant alligator we bought at Ikea. Fortunately, we were able to stop the game before someone got hurt.

Soon after we put him down for a nap. He got very upset about going to sleep. He kept crying and trying to get up out of bed. Zoe asked him why are you crying, and Enzo said, "well...i'm trying to go downstairs", and it made us laugh.

Enzo woke up from his short nap pretty grouchy, but settled down once Zoe got some food into him. We went to the grocery store, and then came home to set up the pool. Enzo and I had a serious battle with the hoses, and we got each other soaking wet. Enzo's teeth were chattering after about an hour, so Zoe scooped him up and brought him inside.

I built a big lego rocket ship while Zoe went to grab some dinner. After we ate, we went on the nightly bug hunt. Enzo carried around a couple of dried up old worms he found on the side walk until we finally convince him to let them go in the bushes.

We had mochi ice cream and then took our bath. Enzo made me read his favorite chapter from Frog & Toad about the melting ice cream twice before lights out.
