Henry goes all in

I gave Henry some ill-advised lights-on time after I finished reading his bedtime story tonight, then came back 20 minutes later to declare that it was time to turn the lights out and go to sleep. Twenty minutes after that, we could still hear him rattling around in his room, so I went back up to quiet him down again.

The room was dark, but Henry was out of his bed and many toys were obviously in active usage. He looked at me and decided to play a jack-high hand as if it were a royal flush: He proudly declared, "I'm sleeping and playing!"

Gigimas


This is what we came home to today after our gym trip: Gigi getting a little nap with Charlie. Kermit looks kind of menacing there, no?



Here is Henry at breakfast waiting for his pancakes.



Here is Chuckles enjoying his first pancake.



Another pancake pose.

And he sleeps


And he sleeps
Originally uploaded by e-lah.

Charlie has given us a rough few nights. I was convinced he had another ear infection. But the pediatrician said he was in perfect health. No signs of impending dentition either. Our guess is that Charlie's obsession with learning to crawl and pulling up are the cause of his overnight wakings.

Here he is this afternoon. Making up for last night's lost sleep.

Star Room Activity


After reading this book, Henry and his classmates made their own Kid Rorschach tests and then explained what they looked like.

I thought Henry's description was spot on.

"A bug eating a cake."

I left him after his bath for five seconds to get his undies. This is what I found when I returned.
