Henry Turns Two

When asked, "How old are you?" Henry replies, "TWO!"

When Henry sees a scab or has a sore bottom he says, "A owee...a owee...a  owee."
He will often tell me "mye" (bye) when he gets in his red car.

Henry is quick to apologize when he thinks he has hurt you, repeating the word "Sthorry" several times.
He is slow to anger and
He never gets upset with "baby" sister.

Where there is silence, Henry is napping.

Where there is laughter, Henry is running.

When Henry is crying, he didn't get something he wants. And it's usually a movie.

When Henry is talking, it is often in jibberish. And I don't understand him.

When Henry is silently playing, he is content being alone. And he is rarely getting into trouble.

Henry's puppy dog eyes means he wants to give you a hug,
His tear-stained eyes usually means he needs a hug,
And he will resort to his blanket for hugs when neither of those suffice.

Henry wants dad, aka "Papa," whenever he is around,
He wants "Mama" whenever he gets hurt,
And he would take his grandparents over Mom & Dad any day.

When Henry hands you an object, he wants to have a sword fight with you.

When he kicks, he is practicing kung fu.

When he grabs your hand, he wants to lead you somewhere (often to the candy cupboard).

When Henry says, "Moo-ee," he wants to watch a movie,

And when he growls or says "wagon", he wants to watch "How to Train Your Dragon."
He loves the "boon" (balloons) from Dreamworks opening scene.

Henry broke his habit of always carrying something in his hand.
He developed the bad habit of picking his nose.
And he has a really good habit of hugging Mom & Dad when he firsts sees us in the morning.

Henry is a good sleeper, sleeping 15 hours a day.
He is a good eater, except for his veggies (he hands them to me & says "no").
And he is good at playing with others & is playing more often with Maggie.

Henry is generally obedient: time out seems to be effective with him.
Henry is usually happy: when he isn't happy he is tired.
Henry is always cute: between his face & his loving spirit, he can (almost) do no wrong.

Henry loves candy, chocolate, his blanket, & his family.
Henry loves giving hugs helping others feel loved.
Henry loves movies, balloons, & animals.

My absolute favorites-
I love it when Henry puckers his lips to kiss me.
I love his naked bum running away from me after a bath.
And I love his sensitivity to others & his happy countenance.
He is my favorite little boy.

Happy birthday, Buddy!
