Deep Thoughts by Henry...

Two nights ago, after reading books, and while snuggling before bed, Henry and I were talking...

Henry:  Mom?
Me:  Yes?
Henry:  What's the end number?
Me:  Huh?
Henry:  You know... the very, very last one?
Pause...
Me:  Um.  That's a really good question.  I don't know... I think numbers just go on and on... there isn't really an end.
Pause...
Henry:  Mom?
Me:  Yes?
Henry:  What's God's middle name?
Pause...
Me:  Um.  That's a really good question.  I don't really know.

And today, driving home from soccer...

Henry:  Mom?
Me:  Yes?
Henry:  Is 3 plus 1 four?
Me:  Yes.
Henry:  Watch... I can do it with my eyes closed.  
Pause while Henry dramatically closes his eyes super tight.
Henry:  3 plus 1 is 4.  See?  Watch again.  I can do it with one eye open and one eye closed.
Me:  Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Henry:  No, you aren't watching.  You're watching in front.  Look at me.  I can do the other eye now.  3 plus 1 is 4.
Me:  Yeah, I see.  And I can see you in the rear view mirror.  That's cool.
Henry:  Now I'm switching them.  3 plus 1 is 4.  Look at me!  I'm switching them.
Me:  Yes, yes, yes.  I see.  COOL!!!!

And, completely unrelated but still entertaining...

Several weeks ago the boys kept fighting over this black stuffed dog named, you guessed it, Baby Allie.  (I know, I know, cue the sad song...)  Anyway, they were driving me nuts fighting over Baby Allie for the obvious reason.  WE HAVE 100 OTHER STUFFED ANIMALS IN THIS HOUSE.  I walked in to the kitchen during one of those fights to this scene....

That would be Henry guarding Baby Allie with a hammer.  And, that's right... he wrapped Baby Allie up in Saran Wrap, on a plate, so James couldn't find her.

Sigh.
