The most hysterical things come out of Henry's mouth at bedtime right before we're about to say goodnight. Typical examples are when he squeezes me tightly and says, "I will always keep you safe." Tonight he added "comfortable" in addition to safe (so that's good) and he will also say, "I will always protect you." These are not things we've specifically said to him but I suppose he gathers that we will do these things for him so he is just reciprocating, I guess:-)
I have a toy Jesus and not sure where I got it or who gave it to me (I also have toy Jung --his leg is missing--that my sister in law gave to Henry) but anyway, Henry really likes this toy Jesus because he has wheels for feet and H likes anything with wheels. The other night we were reading books and Henry asked me what was the name of the toy man. I was about to kiss him goodnight and he said, "Can I cuddle with Jesus?" and I chuckled, "yeah sure" and then he said, "I love Jesus."
Henry has told us about one of his dreams recently. His dad was in the ocean and one of his eye balls was floating away. It comes up a lot, "...but you didn't have an eye. It was in the water."
Last night as I was leaving, Henry started to whimper and I said, "What's wrong?" and completely out of the blue he said, "I don't have a dog." I reminded him that he had a kitty and lots of friends and neighbors with dogs but when Justin went in to say goodnight he told a similar tale of woe. J and I hoped we could escape this adult life w/o ever having to own a dog but you can't really deny a boy his dog. We'll wait 5 years though. Most (ethical) people won't sell a dog to a family w/ small children.
this is so funny and cute :)
