This and That

Todd and Leo are gone on an Adventure Guides campout this weekend, so it's just me and Henry this weekend. So far, we are doing fine. Henry is going through a real "mommy" phase right now, so he is perfectly content. Only I can get him out of the bed, he MUST be rocked by only mommy before bed, etc.

Leo is doing well in first grade. We had some problems at the first of the year when he talked disrespectfully to the teacher and wanted to argue and dominate her conversations with him. Gosh, I just can't ever imagine my precious Leo doing that? (hear dripping sarcasm) But we had lots of talk about it and made some changes, and he is doing much better. I substituted for the teacher one afternoon this week while she did some training, and she was HIGHLY complementary of his behavior. His reading and other subjects are going well.

Henry has had a couple of cute moments lately. When we were driving home from preschool one day this week, he pointed at the ghost decorations in the trees and said..."Those aren't ghosts. Those are trashbags." Which is exactly what they are.

Yesterday, we went to a really cute indoor playground. He found a bunch of big plastic bugs to play with. When he got to a big ladybug, he told me..."His name is Fruit Punch." He hadn't named any of the other creatures, so I asked him why. But it is destined to remain locked in the brain of a two-yr-old. Then when we were leaving, there was a real ladybug on the window of my car. I showed him, and he said..."Hey, there's Fruit Punch!!!" I asked him why again, and this time he told me..."Because he is orange." This ladybug was orange, so I guess that is my answer!

Here are some pictures from the zoo on Columbus Day.
