Henry Lately

We are so happy to have new neighbors. Our good friends moved right next door. Henry has loved having Maya to play with more. They're constantly going back and forth, leaving each other notes taped to front doors, sharing toys and inviting each other over to play. Its been a great distraction for Henry and they usually play really well together. One thing he loves to do it run over and wave at her through their sliding glass door. Sometimes its hard to get him away especially if we're heading out to the car. 

They always say good bye with hugs and Henry usually shouts at parting "Bye Maya! I want to marry you."

Some things Henry is into these days:

• Playing Sorry
• Pokemon
• Angry Bird Star Wars--how is this still in my life?
• The color orange
• Otterpops
• We're reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory together and I have been wonderfully surprised at his attention span.
• Playing "hide the figures." A game Steve made up where he hides all his action figures and then someone has to find them and then we switch
• Any type of technology with games
• The beach, the pool and the splash pad
• Henry also loves playing a game we made up called "I'm thinking of..." We take turns giving each other clues to guess a person or a place or a thing. For example, "I'm thinking of someone who is small, is a girl and cries." Did you guess Vivian? 
• We also play a game where someone will hum a song and we have to try and guess what song is it like Name That Tune. Songs we hum include primary songs, tv show theme songs and classic children's songs.
