Tooth #1 bites the dust

A little slow in getting this up on the blog, but back on 05/06, Henry "lost" his first tooth with a little brute force help from Mommy. The tooth fairy was very pleased to find an actual tooth instead of a note like his big brother's first tooth! and rewarded Henry with two "golden" dollars.

Cute Mother's Day Video from Henry's Pre-k Class

A cute musical tribute from the kids starts around the 5 minute mark.

I love it when you call me big......

A video with some audio for your viewing pleasure. Play button will be in the bottom left corner after you click "Start Prezi".

corn maze!!

They were both very serious about this. Studying the map to find the way....

There were 5 checkpoints through out the maze...

Fun for all!

"Come on, Henry! This way....I think."

 Whew! We made it out.

4 yr old check-up....

Me and my boy!

38.5 lbs--75% percentile (up from 35lbs, continuing along the same percentile curve)

41.75in--80% percentile (up from 39 in--staying about 2lb and 2in behind L at the same age)

He is basically a square! After a bit of a false start on the hearing test, he flew through the eye chart (asking for the letters, not the "baby picture one," the blood pressure, and the physical. The doc even commented on what a happy guy he is. That is until the fateful time for the shots. He had to get 4 today plus the FluMist so he was pretty sad afterwards. But IronMan and Spiderman Bandaids helped as well as a Mom-guilt fueled trip to our favorite bakery for a free cookie. Hey, don't judge me!

birthday, part II....

 On his real birthday, Henry went to school and had a great day. The principal singled him out during the morning meeting and said Happy Birthday to him. Then Pippa James and I came to school and I was the mystery reader. Next cupcakes for the class at lunch time--whew! After Henry's birthday dinner choice (homemade pizza) and birthday cake (red velvet with a bat symbol on top), then it was present time!!

Bat-cake!

In case, you don't know Henry, he is....Batman!

Swampy and Cranky from "Where's My Water?"--another favorite

Super hero and Amelia Bedilla books!

From Uncle Brad--a Bat-belt complete with gadgets

Hulk-fists!!

And Hulk.....

SMASH!!!!
