More Henry Tales

• Henry and I were at the park yesterday. As he normally does, he buzzes from one end of the park to the other without ever stopping to rest. Suddenly he made a beeline for the exit. He was walking down the sidewalk and appeared to be looking for something. He finally stopped and walked over to the curb. Right in front of the ice cream truck!
• Although Henry has been napping like a champ (sometimes for a whole THREE hours) and sleeping in his own bed the entire night, he is very difficult to put down. He stands in his crib crying and holding his pillow. When I go in there he points to the door, motioning that he wants to watch TELEVISION. We usually cave and let him lay on the couch for a few minutes. I give him the lecture on the way out that he has to lay down, he can't run around and that he needs to go to sleep. He nods very somberly and pretends to be relaxing. Of course we are usually watching one of his very favorite shows like Dancing with the Stars. Tonight I looked down at him and he was clapping his little hands along with the audience, albeit very sedately.
