Henry Update

Here are some updates on Henry:

• He still hates going to bed.  In fact, he is crying right now because I just put him down.
• He sleeps in his own room for most of the night and sometimes the entire night.
• He likes cucumbers now.
• He still loves chocolate.
• He loves to say hi and bye to strangers.  The other day he grabbed a woman in the store as Dave was holding him because she didn’t pay attention to him.  This wasn’t the first time.
• He likes people who have disabilities whether mentally or from age.  My mom takes care of an elderly gentleman with dementia who doesn’t really like anyone.  Henry loves him.  I think he secretly loves Henry too.
• Henry ran up to a disabled elderly woman the other day and gave her a hug. He didn’t know her.
• He loves the step ladder.  He pushed it into our bathroom and climbs up and down it all of the time.
• He loves to be outside.  He asks to go out a lot.
• He loves the water.
• He loves Maggie and laughs at her all day.
• I quickly went up in the attic to grab something the other day.  When I came back down Henry was half way up the pull down ladder.
• Henry loves, loves to drink juice from a little juice box with a straw.  He acts like it’s the best thing ever and often is very impatient with us if we don’t give it to him fast enough.
• Henry loves watching other kids.
• Our septic got partially dug up yesterday.  Henry just stood very still watching the man dig.
• He is very observant.
• He would open doors but can’t quite turn the knobs yet.  He loves to shut them.
• He loves turning things off – TV, computers, anything.  It’s a button thing.
• He loves to pretend to drive the car.  When Rye was here we sat in the car in the driveway one night while Henry pretended to drive.
• He loves giving his mommy unsolicited hugs and kisses.
• Early this morning he came into bed.  After we got him situated, he whispered “hi” to me.  So sweet.
• He loves playing with his hair or my hair when falling asleep.
• We got him some large blocks that look like big legos.  He loves taking them out of the container, then putting them back in.  Shutting and opening it between each block.
• He LOVES books.  He pretends to read my journal.  He sits and looks at his animal book for long periods of time.
• He loves to play “what’s that”.  He points and says “that”.
• He pretends any small object is a phone and pretends to talk on it.
•   He loves it when his daddy gets home.
