Merry Christmas!

Henry walking into the living room and seeing his presents. The first thing he saw and the thing that continues to be his favorite is the tricycle. It's sort of a Big Wheel knock off, with a theme from the "Cars" cartoon movie. His feet do not reach the pedals, even though I have put it at the lowest setting for the seat, but he can push himself around by pushing off with his feet on the floor. He likes to load the back up with various toys and propel himself around the house.
He also got a "Henry the Octopus" doll from the Wiggles show. It sings as Henry makes it dance.
Henry looks at his other presents. I finally found toy food to go with the toy kitchen, as well as toy pots & pans and toy dishes. I had to look hardest for the dishes--most were Disney princess theme.
Henry got a Wiggles poster. I haven't hung it in his room yet. He recognizes the characters and will point to the one whose name I call. Here he points to Jeff, the one that got me started with having him watch the show. I saw a Jeff doll in a store and bought it because I thought it would be fun for Henry to have an Asian doll (or is it an action figure?)
Henry didn't catch on to unwrapping presents--I had to help him with that.
Henry continues to play with cars and trucks with the most interest.
Henry likes the things on the toy kitchen that make noise, like the microwave and the faucet.
Later in the day Henry enjoyed watching a video in his room. He has just recently started being satisfied staying in his room by himself, playing or watching a video or both. It was also quite warm during the holidays--it got up to 76 on Christmas day.
In the evening Henry lined up all the cars he could find in the den.
It was a long day--Henry fell asleep while he was eating.
