For awhile now, I've been wanting to write down some things that Henry has said. Things that are too cute to let slip by without journaling them for memory. Here are just a few:
1. (while we're eating breakfast) "Mommy, can we eat dinner now?" I say why? "Because then Daddy would be home."
2. One day we were driving past the mall, and he asked me what that big place was. I said the shopping mall. He said, "Oh yeah, that's where Jesus died on the cross." I said what?? And then again, completely matter of factly, he said, "That's where Jesus died on the cross." I have no idea where he got that idea.
3. I'm always telling Henry he cannot throw balls high in the house nor kick them because he could break things... like light bulbs. Yesterday we were outside playing. He picked up a green soccer ball. "Mommy, can Henry throw this high in the sky?" I said sure! He said, "But why? Are there no lights in the sky?"
4. I was trying to explain to Henry the difference b/t healthy food vs. unhealthy food. Trying to help him understand why he doesn't get large quantities of juice or sugar or cookies or anything else that tastes really, really good! :) And he said, "So sugar is bad for Henry's body?" And I said yes... that's why we eat it in moderation. And he said, "Wow, that's a bummer."
We love this kid! :)
Uncle Josh came this past wknd to visit. He was attending a job fair - but stayed through Sunday. We had been planning on doing some serious yard work, so when he told us he was coming, we said he had to work for his food! He was a wonderful help -- Jonathan was so grateful for his muscle! While eating lunch, Jonathan was telling Josh how being 31 is just not the same as 23... :)
Henry, of course, was loving having Uncle Josh here. He couldn't ask him enough questions -- we ended the wknd on Sunday by taking a walk back in the creek. Wyatt conked out in the backpack. It was a wonderful wknd!
