it's friday! a henry day. we went out to pick weeds near the playground as part of my outdoor work group responsibilities and didn't make it any further than the cherry tree behind our house...
henry in his element... (as you've figured out by now)...
he told me he wanted to sleep in the tree... so he closed his eyes and "took a nap"...
the cherries are all gone for the year, but we have at least two jars of them in the freezer and a couple jars of dried cherries in the cupboard. and just next to the cherry tree there is an apple tree...
after the tree climbing, we were both weeding together. and then henry said, "this will be my thistle pet" and he went home and put him in a jar...
later, after some more weeding together, he disappeared again for some time. i went looking for him and found him at the kitchen table. he'd made himself a peanut butter and honey sandwich and grated the rest of the parmesan cheese. "i remember you said you would have to hide the parmesan mama, but i will just find it."
once again, this is henry in his element. he would nearly always prefer to do something (especially food related) himself rather than have us do it for him. though i cannot say that this is necessarily true about the cleaning up and putting away part. maybe when he's five.
