My big boy

Jump to Comments
  • Henry would like it to be known that he is now a big boy and can go to sleep without his mommy or daddy sleeping with him (i.e. lying down in his bed til he falls asleep, which we’ve pretty much been doing since the great monster scare of spring ‘09).  New bedtime query: “Who’s NOT sleeping with me tonight?”
  • Henry can now read books to his parents.  Or at least recite them from memory while looking at the picture, with impressively accurate phrasing. 
  • Henry, when asked by his kindergartener cousin what he did in pre-K today, replies, “We are learning about hotels. . .  And hats.”
  • “How do you count to a teenager? . . . without fingers?”  [thinks.]  “Maybe you just use your mouth!  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.  I can count to a teenager AND a grownup!”
