Watch the Progress!

I am one PROUD MAMA! My sweet 3 year old is so determined ( and my sweet husband is so patient)! 

These first 3 videos were yesterday - the third one down was just too cute not to post - 

Just one short day later - Look at the progress he has made so quickly! He's having so much fun learning!

This video just above is SO adorable, you cant hear him, but Henry is saying a prayer before his ride - Oh how my 3 year old melts my heart.

We made a BOAT! ... among other things...

Henry and Finnley on their 'Boat' - Pretty adorable right?

Free Chick-Fil-A day!! MOOOoooooo.....

Riverton's Farm themed splash pad - Hayden and Lily joined us but once they got there I got all caught up in catching up with a great friend! Thanks for the idea Jamie!

Clean Room

A week or so ago Henry exclaimed in a very excited tone "Im going to clean my room mom!" and he bolted down the hallway towards his room... this is what I found:

Pretty spotless right.....

RIGHT............

Hilarious Henry

       These are just a few of the most hilarious things this sweet boy has done or said recently - Enjoy

I gave Henry a long cardboard tube which once held wrapping paper on it yesterday. He proceeded to call it his horse and even named him Citizen. (cool name huh) Well throughout the day Citizen needed to go out and poop in the yard. So Henry proceeded to take his horse out and let him have the potty break he needed......

When I asked Henry where Citizen was this morning he told me he was in America South (South America) and was so sad he didn't even get to say goodbye. HA HA!

Last night as we were driving home from a family BBQ Henry asked if we could please help him put his armrest on his carseat down. When we replied that we couldn't help while we were moving he said in his most whiny voice "I'll give you 20 bucks...." We laughed pretty hard. Whose bribing or paying this kid off?! Oh wait.....

He has FINALLY mastered holding a pencil behind his ear. I didn't even know he was working on it until he came up to me to show me his new skill. He walked around with a pencil behind his ear for 2 whole days.


Several Months ago Henry sat on the toilet in the bathroom visiting me while I cleaned it. I turned my back to him and crouched down to clean the floor. Just a moment later while still crouched down our little conversation went like this:
Henry: Mom?
Mom: Yeah Bubba?
Henry: You look REALLY good in those pants!
....uh...WHA???
I laughed very hard

Last night we had a few rough moments at the above mentioned family BBQ - Nothing major, but Henry didnt get dessert, and as we were nearing home about 25 minutes after leaving Henry said to his Daddy:
Henry: Dad, Im sorry for all the bad things I do to you.
We both giggled a little


About a week ago I was wearing some baggy clothes while I cleaned the house. Well, my shirt was a tad low and Henry came up to me rather concerned, looked at my chest and said, "Mom! You've got a cut! Well, all girls have that cut..." Uh...who's this kid looking at???
