Puff the Magic Dragon

Tonight Henry and I had a good time reading and listening to the book 'Puff the Magic Dragon' - he didn't see why I thought it was so sad. We had a good snuggle. Henry is an amazing snuggler.

Then, Meg looked up the video online for Puff the Magic Dragon, and we watched the first part - I had seen is many times when I was a kid, but haven't seen it in probably 30 years. It's amazing how much of it I remembered.

Very First Picture of a Person

Valentine's Day Snuggles

Henry has been sick for five days. He had croup Thursday and Friday, not been able to breathe well, and has now moved on to a regular cough and runny nose. His cough has made it hard for him to keep down food and made him quite hungry. He finally convinced us to play trains with him this morning--to try to make his request more enticing, he always makes a "nest" for his dad to lay on while playing trains. Sable, very much Marc's dog, can't resist spooning with Marc if there is a big blanket involved.

Puppysitting

We have been playing with our neighbor's puppy a few afternoons when the Moran's are not able to come and walk her at lunch time. Her name is Hippy, which is appropriate because she smells bad and is annoying. Her devotion to Henry, or perhaps anyone short enough to tackle and lick, is endearing, but gets old after about 23 minutes.

Taller than Tommy?

Henry thinks he is taller than Tommy Umlor, but sorry to say, he's not. Henry really does look up to Tommy though. Henry received a pair of Tommy's shoes that are too big for him and he really wants to be able to wear them. Last night he put them on and laid down on the floor and fell asleep. It was quite cute.
