We had a nice time visiting WI for Christmas and New Years! There was snow so Henry got to go sledding, take a few walks in the woods, and of course, make a snowman and fort! On the way to WI, Henry was invited to sit in the pilot's chair...so cool! The cold didn't really seem to bother him a bit, until it was getting closer to heading back to CA. He said he thought it would be better to live in CA instead of WI because there were more "kid books" in CA! He is full of so many great ideas lately. Tonight he told me that his dad and I should order the "neat scanner" so we wouldn't have so many papers around. (yes...we have lots of paper clutter!)Henry is beginning to try to read. He sort of mumbles along with us as we read to him. He also looks at the pictures and figures out the story himself. We are giving the "Bob" books a try... Henry still loves noodles, milk and french fries. His favorite show is Tom and Jerry. Favorite color is yellow. Henry speak well...he uses colorful adverbs when he is describing how he does things. School is still a joy for him...today he got out of the car and didn't even look back to say good-bye! We are happy about that! Henry had fun with cousins Jack, Isla, and Leah!They had their first slumber party...two nights of fun while Annie and Chris had a little getaway!
