The whirlwind trip

Our trip back to AZ was a success. Henry was very good on the plane rides. We did have a little issue with the man's seat in front of him on the way home (apparently it was broken and stuck in the "recline" position). Apparently this was enough space for Henry to be able to kick the man's seat...which apparently was annoying. I did everything I could and I don't think he was too bothered. For the record we were sitting first and the lady in the row next to me was the only one in her row...so he could have moved before we took off to a seat that didn't have a baby behind it.

The iTouch was a huge success. The only thing is we have not found headphone that work well for Henry. We have to hold them up to his ear. Does anyone know if they sell baby headphones? I bought some tonight that go over your ears...we will see if that works.

So much happened while I was home. I saw my dance team perform, we planned a vacation for October when Andrew gets back from this assignment, we went to my old support group, I went and had a massage, I had a doctors appointment, I had dinner with a friend for her Birthday, we went on a playdate with one of Henry's friends, I went shopping for all the rest of Henry's B-day party stuff, I made a practice "duck" cake for the party, I met with a new landscaping company (the one we have went out of business and we are not about to make Grandma mow the lawn in 110+ degree weather!, we went to a 1 year old's b-day party...and I think that is it. It was a jam packed 60 hours. It was so good to see everyone, but Henry and I were both worn out at the end.

Grandma was worn out too! Henry was walking EVERYWHERE! He was really only taking like 15-20 steps at a time, but taking him to the airport gave him LOTS of motivation to get moving. So many shiny poles and trash cans...and trash on the ground. I was a little grossed out because he found a used piece of chewing gum in the metal gum wrapper somewhere and I didn't find it until he had been chewing on it for a while. Yuck! I am glad he didn't get swine flu.

Henry also discovered the dog's water. It was pretty hot in AZ, but let me tell you how the days went until we moved the dogs water to a different location.

Henry, don't put your hand in the dog water. That water is for the dogs to drink.

Sorry buddy, what is with the sad face? It is hot and the dogs need fresh water. We don't stick our hands into their dish.

Henry, I guess I need to specify that feet are not supposed to go into the dog water either. The dogs need that water and don't appreciate the foot taste.

Henry, just because you have your foot in does not mean it is a good idea to stick your hand back in.

Henry, that water dish is no different. No hands or feet please. The dogs need that water to drink.

Then we finally took Henry into the pool and he seemed happy.

Henry really likes to play with the cat too. Dexter licks him too much and Dee Dee is scared of him. But he had SO much fun chasing the cat around and trying to get close enough to pet him.
