Last weekend Henry and I visited with my grandmother. I tried to get him to call her "Grandmother Lorene", which was what I was taught to call her. What came out was "Mama Rene", which she found even better.
Becky, a friend of my aunt Barbara Sue, saw Henry for the second time. She seems to have an easy time winning him over.
We also drove over to a park to meet Julia, a librarian who used to work with me. She had entered her dog BiBi in a contest/parade. Henry enjoyed running around the park, and he seemed to especially be interested in the fountain.
Julia and Henry meet each other for the first time. Julia worked with me all during the time after the referral but before my trip to Vietnam, so she saw the monthly updates and went through the excitement and anticipation with me. Then she moved jobs while I was gone and this is the first chance she has had to meet him.
This last Tuesday I picked up a "Happy Meal" at McDonald's for Henry, and we ate in the outdoor area by the library.
Henry continues to like to dip his fries into ketchup. I never taught him to do this, I'm not sure where he picked it up.
Yesterday Henry went in for a haircut. First I got my hair cut, then I picked him up and he goes his cut. This is the third haircut he has had, and the first time he has sat in the chair by himself. The other two times he had to sit in my lap.
Here is Henry before the haircut. I like the length in front but felt like it needed to be trimmed a little. He also has a lot of hair in the back, and when he eats yogurt or some other sticky food he tends to put his hands in the food and then run his hands through his hair. It makes for a mess.
Here is Henry after his haircut, when we got home. I got him a battery operated scooter. He is still learning how to operate it, and doesn't feel comfortable holding down the "gas" button. So he ends up stopping and starting. The thing also doesn't seem to have very good traction so it's hard for it to go on the slick grass.
