Overheard

Henry (looking at Bill's bowl of cereal): "Dada I want some cereal too"
Bill: "You already have a waffle, why don't you just share some of mine?"
Henry: "No, I want my own bowl"
Me (from the other room but on my way out the door): "I'll get him some"
Bill: "No, I'll do it, you go ahead"
Henry: "No dada!! I want mama to get it"
Bill: "Why? I'll get it"
Henry: "Because mama is the bestest mama I've ever seen."
Bill: "What am I, chopped liver?"
Henry: "Yes"

Everything in it's place

So last night Henry and I were playing with his GI Joes (handed down from his dada) and were digging through the container picking out accessories etc when he came across a non-GI Joe in the box.

He held it up to me and asked: "Mama, what is this guy doing in the GI Joe bucket?"
I replied: "I don't know, someone must have been confused and put it in the wrong spot. Why don't you put it in the people bucket" (where he stores all non GI Joe people)
Henry: "OK!" (walks over and puts it away)

When he returned he said to me: "What do you say?"
Me (slightly confused): "Thank you?"
Henry (nodding): "You're welcome"

He is generally a very grateful kid and often says please and thank you without being prompted at all but apparently he's familiar with the proper way to get a thank you out of someone should the need arise.

Fun in the sun!

Over the weekend Henry, Bill, Grandma Deb, Grandpa Jack and I all went to the waterpark. Henry LOVED it all. Here is a video of him on the big slide and a few pics.
