Henry, 2 1/2 yrs


Where do you start with Henry? He is active, inquisitive, clever, funny, and temperamental. We are starting to have problems with ear infections again. He is finally getting his two-year molars. He strongly prefers mommy at the moment. He wants mommy to feed him, bathe him, put him to bed, etc. Exhausting phase! He has discovered the noggin channel and wants to watch it all the time. The Backyardigans, Diego, and the Wonder Pets are some of his favorite shows. We are going to have to start limiting how much he can watch because he is singing, dreaming and talking about these shows all the time. This morning he got up and went looking around the house for 'the backyards'. He said they were here in the house riding their bikes. ? He seems to be having more vivid dreams. One night he woke me up and told me several times he wanted his cookie back. Last night, much our horror, Henry learned how to scale the gate we put on his door to keep him from getting out of bed at bedtime. He was quite proud of himself. He loves getting playing (and getting very dirty) in his sandbox.

He has been talking well for awhile, but he is starting to say some pretty complex sentences. Sometimes he babbles on and on. Strangely enough, he can't ask a question yet. If he wants to say - "Can I go outside, daddy?", he will say - "I can go outside, daddy." His "C" sounds are "T" sounds, and his "F's" and "S's" are switched around. His "G's" sound like "D".
Here are some Henry phrases:
I'm dood. (I'm good.)
All ozer the place. (All over the place.)
I luzz you. (I love you)
Wingo and DJ (from Cars, what he wants Santa to bring)
I want my tozy toupe, mama. (His Cozy Coupe car.)
I want to watch the sarm, mama. (Baby Einstein - Old MacDonald)
Sawarra (Saguaro cactus)
Looking at our wedding picture - he told me we got married 'like on Robin Hood.'
If you say you are going to take him to school, he will correct you and say ' I go to the two's room, mommy.'
Maceeroni (macaroni)
Prengren (penguin)
Good night, mama camel (at bedtime.) ? or
Good night, mama kit kat.

Every day, I am amazed by this kid. He is changing so fast.
