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.

What did you do today at work?
This has become one of Henry's favorite questions. Each day he asks us both how our day was and what we did today at work. We tell him random things like "went to a meeting" "talked on the phone" etc.
So today while we were having this conversation he asks me "Did you have any weddings today?"
My reply "What?" (not sure I heard him correctly)
Henry: "Did you go to any weddings today? Did you marry anyone?"
Me (laughing) "um, no I didn't"
A few minutes later Bill joins us and I ask him if he attended any weddings today. He of course, did not. So it's quiet for a moment or two and then Henry announces
"I went to a wedding and got married today"
Apparently he and Avery tied the knot today at daycare. Last week he told me he wouldn't always live at my house and today he gets married? This is all moving too fast for me!
