We had a really nice Father's Day. We started out by going to the Cathedral of Junk (see below) and then over to Torchy's taco's for breakfast. We should have gone there first but live and learn. Next we went to the playground near our house, ran around and came home for lunch and nap. When Henry woke up we went to the store to buy some snacks to contribute to the Father's Day cookout over at HW's house. (HW is the other Henry..his middle name is Wallace so we just refer to him as HW so as not to cause confusion --although not sure why I thought it would be confusing since Henry's favorite train is also named Henry and he does not seem confused). The cookout was super awesome fun and Mae, Leo, Moses, and Milo were there. Lowell had family in town so we missed seeing him. The kids all seemed giddy to see each other.
In other news, Henry is now the only boy in his class at school. It's just for the next 2 weeks but even when the older kids rejoin the class it's still just one other boy. (And why they moved them out for these two weeks still confuses me and I talked to one of the moms of the kids who got moved and she was also annoyed--they didn't even tell us this was going on). I am enough annoyed by this to consider placing him at another school because I am getting tired of the lack of thought that seems to go into decision making around there. Not only is Henry the only boy, he is now the second oldest and most of the girls are these tiny, 20 month old, mostly non verbal, introverted, confused-seeming but sweet little things. They are all adorable and wonderful but not exactly play companions. I'm worried Henry is bored. I could also be over reacting because when I picked him up Monday he was pretending to be a seal with one other girl and they were laughing hysterically. I asked him if he had fun at school and he said yes and then gave me his recap of the day, "Water...unintelligible....shirt...mumble....messy....Sophia crying....Attie...Megan...outside...paint...mumble mumble....snack!).
Diet seems different lately. He's still eating a pretty large amount but he's more picky. He's now been exposed enough to sweet things that he lately seems to prefer those foods. I knew the day would come when I'd have to chop up his broccoli and hide it in the applesauce. Bummer. Since weaning, he has been drinking enormous quantities of milk. Like 4 or 5 glasses a day. He's eating bananas and yogurt now which he used to hate. Sleep is better then any mother could hope for. He's not waking at night at all and he slept till 7:40 today....7:30 yesterday. Although now that I've typed this it will probably stop:-) I'm such a jinxer.
Yesterday Henry said, "Excuse me", when I was in his way.
