Henry's Memory

Okay...he's really freaking me out with how well he can remember things we only mention once or twice...and his exceptional vocabulary...

Example 1: We went on our walk the other day (we haven't been in awhile because of the yucky weather). When we passed a particular house, Henry said, "Spider?" It took me a second - but then I remembered last Halloween (6 months ago) that house was decorated with a large spider above their front door.

Example 2: For those that don't know....when young children leave Costco after shopping the worker checks the receipt and draws a smiley face on the back for the kid. This week when we were leaving Henry requested the smiley face from the man as we approached the exit.

Example 3: When went to the park last night and I pointed out that there was a kite stuck up in the tree. Today when I was telling people about our adventure Henry made sure that I included that detail.

Example 4: Tonight before getting ready for bed, we were playing some family basketball in Henry's room. HutcH was sitting on the floor and Henry told him to "get taller".

PS - Let's add something from this morning, honey. He dropped his flying monkey on the other side of the toddler gate. When I asked him to get it for me he started reaching through the gate and we could hear him clearly say. "Henry's almost there. Henry's almost there." We were dumbfounded.
