Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure and generally occasion ourselves.


Here is Henry anxiously inspecting an African-inspired sculpture in the Henry Jones IXL building. Suffice to say that he wasn't game enough to take on of her leaflets.

Pros and Cons of Toddlers Part Two

Pro #2: They're CUNNING. Sure, their cunning is simplistic and often clumsy, but you can't help admire a two year old who manages to adeptly play mother off against father, and father against mother in the cold, clinical pursuit of more sultanas.

Con #2: They're CUNNING. You can't trust them. They are entirely driven by the id. The ego hasn't developed enough yet. If you know your Oedipus, you'll know why this is trouble to a father.

I am intrigued by the look on Henrys' face. Did the sculpture talk to him?
For a two and a half year old, he looks so much older and wiser.
