super day

Wow. Big day with Enzo. Enzo and daddy drove to the aquarium in Long Beach first thing this morning, while Zoe went to the hospital to round. We had a blast. Enzo ran right past the entire first floor of exhibits to get out bakc to the shark & ray touch pool. After that we stood on the ledge of the big shark tank to watch the divers clean the tank (while swimming with the sharks). After manhandling a few invertebrates and a couple more rays, we worked our way through the second floor tropical fishes before heading back to Pasadena.

Enzo was up early, so he took his nap early in the back of the wagon. I sat in the driveway for anoth 45 minutes to let him sleep. We ate a big pasta lunch while watching some classic Superfriends, and then iChatting with Dee and Buzz. It was a rainy day here for the first time in months, so we hopped in the car to go for a drive. We stopped by a toy & book store to look around, then we invited ourselves over to the Metcalfs for dinner and a USC game.

The boys had fun tonight. Enzo discovered a giant talking Superman action figure that he played with for the first 30 minutes, but then he turned his focus to Gabeluke. Gabe let Enzo wear his Superman muscle costume, and he was stoked. After dinner, we had a exciting game of hide-n-seek. Enzo doesn't quite get it yet. If when looking for him, you say "where's enzo?", he jumps out of his hiding place and says, "i'm right here! and gabeluke are under the bed!"

He was exhausted by the time we got home, so he went straight to bed. For the first time I think since he got his new bed, he fell asleep by himself. We just left the door cracked open a bit, and he was OK.
