Weekly Update

Oh, I am so bad! No pictures again...after we got home from Thanksgiving dinner I realized I hadn't taken a single picture. I've been so bad lately! I will step it up this week - especially since my new computer arrived! Woo-hoo.
So, this week for Henry included Gymboree (a special make-up session with Daddy since it was closed on our regular day), a Winterhawks game, and, of course, Thanksgiving! All of which were fun, fun, fun. Not so fun was how the week began - all of us feeling a bit under the weather. That, coupled with the bit of ice and sprinkling of snow we got, kept me and Henry homebound on Monday and Tuesday. What long, frustrating days! Despite lots of arts and crafts projects and a couple bundled up walks, both Henry and I were ready to get out of the house and do something by the time Wednesday rolled around. So, we went and got our hair done! :) A visit with the gawdfather himself, Cary, is always a welcome respite, no matter what the situation. Henry held so still while Cary cut his hair that Cary joked I must have given him Benedryl before we came in. Hee hee hee.
Thanksgiving dinner was awesome - spent with the Winder/Baker crew at Gigi's house. Henry, of course, was the center of attention and everyone had lots of fun playing with him. He loves Auntie Joan (who has been so kind in coming over and babysitting him sometimes during the day). Her nickname for him is Boo Boo Bear and he now calls himself that all the time. It is hilarious.
Brett took him to Gymboree this weekend and was proud to report that of all the children there, Henry did the best job of paying attention to the teacher and doing the tasks she gave them to do. It was a much bigger class than our usual one (Brett estimated 20 kids to our normal 5), so I was happy to hear he behaved the same as he does when I take him. He loves that place and drags a blanket, sheet or duvet (whatever's handy) out into the living room all the time yelling "parachute time!!"
I will definitely have pictures to share soon!
