Henry again.
I love the little bloke an awful lot, and very much enjoy his company, but by golly he is always 110% full on. There isn’t a lot of down time when he’s awake and firing on all cylinders. Take the scene above: I’ve just spent five minutes setting the baby, but now Ezra is screaming again and Jen is attempting to calm him, I’m cooking dinner, and all I have to do is toss the couscous (ooh err...?) and we are done. I’ve already given the lad a cheesy spaghetti thing that he seems quite taken with. He’s being nice and quite which means “I must check on him”, and wouldn’t you know it, cheesy spaghetti everywhere!
That said, I am supremely confident that as he grows, Henry will turn out a fine young man. Dictatorial tendencies aside, he already says "please" and "thank you (well, "ta") unprompted, and has a terribly sweet nature underneath all of the vigour. All we need to do is channel the vitality towards good, rather than evil.

Oh...the joys of parenting! Ya gotta love 'em!
H Bomb obviously thought the couch was looking a touch dreary and decided on a bit of redecorating...bless his soul!
And as tanya said...the couch looks easy to clean!

USelaine, Henry had a long, loooooong period where the words “no” and “more” were the only two he spoke. If I’m generous, I will grant him “know” and “moor” just to bump him up to four!
I think that Henry has been in his ‘terrible twos’ since he was 18 months, but then again, my children are very advanced for their age...
EGTG, there is a touch of Pollack about these design of the spaghetti. It reminds me of Full Fathom Five, which I do like.
Sue, that’s quite cruel. Henry has had hundreds of nicknames, but I do very much like H-Bomb. I think we have a new one for the list!
JoAnn's-D-Eyes, I am merely part of a dedicated team of household administrators. I am not sure how much that you will learn about photography here, but there is no shortage of half-arsed wisecracks!
