Growing Up
Henry has made some dramatic changes in the last few weeks. He is really beginning to grow out of being a toddler and moving into being a little boy. He even likes to call himself a big boy now.I have to admit it is bit sad to see my baby growing so quickly but it still never ceases to captivate me how wonderful and amazing the process is.
As you have seen Henry's language is growing day by day and we are enjoying that he can communicate more with us. This communication has brought about one of his biggest changes that honestly I was not ready for and that is potty training. I was hoping he would potty train this summer, but he seems ready now. I also know that this could be a phase and he could lose interest. Never the less, we are encouraging him when he does ask to go and are so proud that he is doing it. It is also wonderful to see how proud he is of himself and he loves his big boy training pants and flushing the toilet.
He has learned to help set the table for meals. It is so cute to watch him put the silverware around at each place. He modeling so many of our behaviors and learning so quickly how to do things.
He enjoys his riding toys and has learned to steer them. He rides around a small circle in the house with them and loves to take them outside for a ride. He can throw and kick a ball and pull his wagon too. He can even walk down a couple of steps without holding on, however this still makes me nervous.
He is basically sleeping through the night too. Daniel puts him to bed at night now and most nights there is not much fussing if any. Sometimes he wakes up but we cuddle and he goes back to sleep. It is nice to have him right in the room with us at night, and it is also nice to be sleeping better. I can't imagine him being so far away in another room. It was not as dramatic of a transition as I thought it would be, but maybe we were just finally ready.
I just can't quite believe sometimes that he is so big already.

Gardening
Our plotToday we visited our Meadowbrook plot to enjoy the sun and play around a bit. When we began to check out our plot we noticed a strange cluster of straw and fur between our Kohlrabi and lettuce plants. Upon inspection we found a little nest with four baby rabbits. I know you really don't want bunnies in your garden, but they are so very cute. We are going to wait until they leave and then secure the fence along the bottom to prevent them from coming back for snacks.
Baby rabbitsHenry loves going out the garden and playing in the dirt. He is likes to take his toto's (tools) and dig and roll around in the dirt.
Dirty HenryHe also helps plant seeds. You might not know where he plants them, but he sure enjoys taking seeds and putting them in the dirt.

Easter
Henry enjoyed a rather simple Easter. The Easter bunny did hop by with a few goodies for him. I think his favorite was the spinning toothbrush. He loves to brush his teeth now when we do and will brush for several minutes. This is good because he has a mouth full of teeth. He is only missing the two year molars which we think he is working on now.
We went to the Church's Easter egg for hunt for the little guys and Henry had fun opening the eggs. He walked in picked up the first one he saw and stopped looking. He was focused on opening that egg and did not really care to gather more eggs. It was nice. Unfortunately the big kid and little kid eggs were switched and he got chocolate candy and the big kids got animal crackers. Of course once he got the egg open he proceeded to unwrap the chocolate and eat it so, he got chocolate down the front of his shirt. At least he got to wear the outfit for a few minutes and it all washes.
We also had an egg hunt at home that evening with friends and he enjoyed . He learned to peel a boiled egg at our little hunt. It was a lovely dinner with kids playing and wonderful friends to talk with.
