Look Mom!! Red Licorice!!

Thought you might like to see what it looks like when you're 11 month old gets hold of red licorice. Mmmmm!!! Yes, the stains came out of his shirt, and he LOVED every minute of it. He actually confiscated it from the coffee table. Henry had made Charles a gift by putting a variety of treat foods in a brown paper bag. Charles accidentally left the licorice on the coffee table with the rest of his presents, AND....well, you can see what happened to it. Since Andrew found it fair and square, I let him have the glory of eating as much of it as possible.

He had a very nice bath afterwards, too. He LOVES the tub, but I"m not so crazy about his 'cruising' in there. He seems to think the faucet and soap holder make great handles, (and my hands... since they are about 1 inch from him when he cruises the tub). Thankfully, he hasn't decided to try the stairs.

Tomorrow is the big day for Henry. This morning started with a few meltdowns over the most ridiculous things. We went shoe shopping (for Henry), and this afternoon had a visit with his teacher. What a boost that was!! She took Henry into the room for a few minutes to assess him, and we filled out paperwork. He was completely at ease. She took us on a tour, told us where they would line up in the morning, and where I would be waiting when it was over. He's been great ever since, and this evening wanted to make sure that we would look through his backpack and make sure he had everything. We'll cross our fingers that tomorrow will go well.

Todays questions from Charles.... 'Why did God make us with butts?' Ummmm.....
