We had a busy weekend, as I drove in to the metroplex area both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we drove in to spend time with Bao, Chris, and Kevin.
Kevin has an inflatable jumping castle. Henry enjoyed lodging the balls into the holes in the wall.
As always Henry is distracted by books. He loves books. I read him at least two or three every night. Then he takes the book and turns the pages while he jabbers away as if he is telling the story in his own language.
Kevin also has a fire engine. Henry loves cars. He likes to feel like he is driving--he sits in my lap in the car in parking lots and turns the wheel back and forth and reaches for all the knobs. He also likes to hold onto the wheel while we mow the grass.
He didn't drive the fire engine, just made the bells and whistles go off.
Kevin joined to show him how to operate the noise making parts of the engine.
Then they switched places with Kevin in the driver's seat.
On Sunday my church was having what is called Stake Conference. We had to meet in two sessions because there are ten wards (or congregations) and that is too many to fit in the building. Henry and I went to the afternoon session and then went to eat at Kelly and Kay's house. I have known Kelly since I was a freshman in college at the University of Dallas.
The meeting is two hours long. I sat with Henry in the main chapel for 45 minutes--on the very last row with many other children. Then he got restless and I walked around the building's hallways with him and finally sat in the Primary room. That is where the older children meet--ages 3 to 11. He continued to get restless until a few other children came in the room. He stayed in my lap but he seemed content to watch them play while I listened to the speakers on the intercom that was broadcast throughout the building.
