Henry: "Im done sleeping! I'm done sleeping!"

Just a couple of nights ago about 12am Henry burst into tears. I went in to make sure everything was okay, but he was completely asleep, and crying. I rubbed his back until he was calm. About 90 minutes later we hear: "Shoes!..... Shoes!" I wait it out because I know he is asleep and what am I going to do...go put shoes on him at 130 in the morning?? Nah, we wait and he calls out for his shoes a couple more times and sleeps till 6. This isnt the first time he has called out in his sleep. A while ago I would put Henry to sleep in his diaper as it was SO hot.  He would often call out for a shirt or pajamas. Silly boy.

Cute things to note...

Henry is finally putting his own thoughts together out loud and as a result he is saying some adorable and funny things. Here are a few:

Henry LOVES to point out the churches we pass by everyday on Washington St.
Henry: Church! Church!
Henry: Picutre?
Mommy: You want to take a picture of the church Henry?
Henry: yeS
Mommy: Okay, but I dont have a camera today Henry
Henry: (sigh)..Henry need Camera.

We walked inside and I watched as he ran to his room looking for a camera. He was pretty disappointed. A moment later he asked for his baseball hat (he is that specific..'baseball') and came out to daddy working on the computer, tugged on his sleeve and said "should we go?" just like that... "should we go??" Daddy responded.."where? on a walk?" Henry: "yes" So Henry is out walking daddy right now...

The other night as we were coming down the stairs from our apartment to pick up daddy at the metro, I had asked Henry if I could hold him as he LOVES to walk down the stairs taking much much longer. He let me hold him and said about halfway down "I'm So Happy!" I asked again - "Youre so happy?" and he continued to tell me 3 or 4 more times that he was so happy! It was really sweet.

This morning and Henry and I ate cereal together he slurped up his milk, asked for a wiper to clean up his mess, jumped down and said to me "Kiss!" Okay I thought, and smiled as he planted a big juicy one on me with a big "MMMUAH"!!

I dont think I realize very often how much this sweet little guy makes me smile every day! I love you Henry!

A visit to a Museum? Why of course!

Daddy had the great idea of visiting a museum on Saturday. Its been a while and we thought we'd visit the Natural History Museum. Enjoy...

The video clip is of Henry LOVING the magnetic rock in the museum.

Preschool!

Henry has started Preschool!! I cant believe my sweet 2 year old attempts to sit long enough twice a week to learn about colors and shapes and numbers and his abc's. I am very proud to be his mommy. He is soaking up so much right now and it is so much fun to hear him chat, and chat...and chat and chat....and....chat!
