Future family life

This morning as we discussed a splinter in Henry's toe, he told me that, when he's big, he will take my splinters out. "Oh, do you think you'd like to be a nurse?" "Yes. And a daddy." Oh? I began inquiries. He'd like two children, little girls, and there would be three daddies and two mommies, or maybe just him and two mommies, and the girls (I got ( Read more... )

Henry gets presents, 2

I forgot; after Henry got his Aunties Gillian and Sariya package, he got his delivery, via Arnold, of his Aunty Kathryn's gift: a hand-carved toy boat that she now deems him old enough to enjoy responsibly. (The rest of the ones she got, she kept for herself.) I gather he not only bathed with it last night, but read its maker's first name's letters ( Read more... )

I was lucky to be in Mountain View when Henry opened his gifts from Aunties Gillian and Sariya. He got a lovely outfit, a train which he played with daily during my visit, a little purse with a turtle on it, and a frog with a stick through it - I figured out it was a musical instrument/frog-noise-making toy. Oh, and a ChiengMai t-shirt with an ( Read more... )

...is so very addicted to "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2". The other morning his new words were, first thing, "Woo-dy? Buzz?" The same day he also suddenly was able to demand, "Pita! Pita!" As we were in the pizza parlor, this was easily translated. Another happy food dance, "Pita! Pita!"
