New Responsiblity

Henry has a new chore. He is now responsible for unloading and loading cutlery in the dishwasher. He is very proud of his chore.

While we work in the kitchen our conversation usually sounds like this:

"What ELSE lives in the wildernest (yes, -nest)???!!!" and I have to list every animal I can think of that is not a farm animal. It is very hard to convince him that there ARE wild horses.

Recently our conversation turned spiritual when he very randomly asked me "What car does God have?" There is no clear catechism answer for that one. Just like God has cattle on a thousand hills, he has cars in a thousand garages?

This is Henry's new camera smile. It is a very pained and strained face. Not at all natural.


I was trying to be silly in an attempt to catch a real smile. Finally, I said smile like Mommy and this is the face he made.

PS - In case you were wondering. On warm (home) days Henry wears only underwear, no pants. One less item of clothing to wash when we have an accident!
