Mother's Day Song

Henry wrote out a Mothers Day song for me and sang it to me. He did a fantastic job on this.

Let the Show Begin!

Introduction  He spent the afternoon making all his puppets and planning out a puppet show for us to watch. 

Part 1 - All About the Pig's Day 

Intermission: He took a break and I thought I better talk to him about tornadoes. We had the siren go off for a tornado a couple weeks ago and he has been worrying and stewing over it. He has brought up tornadoes on several occasions the past 2 weeks and now it is a center theme in his play. I think he isn't quite as worried anymore, but lost his mojo for part 2.

Part 2 - The Awesome Tiger

Pictures from Kindergarten Spring Concert

 Tall boy in the back row! That's where he will probably always be! He held his smile the entire time I was up there taking pictures of him.

This is just his classroom, there are 3 kindergarten classrooms.

How sinkin' cute! Love this kid and glad he let me dress him up like a little man!

The entire kindergarten class -- all 3 classrooms of kids.

With his friend Ian. Ian decided a couple of weeks ago that Henry was his best buddy and tells me that every time I go into volunteer now. It warms my heart to see Ian run to him in phy ed (when I volunteer in there) when they are told to find a partner. They really wanted a picture together. They haven't had a playdate together yet, but we will soon!

The theme for the year for the elementary school this year is OLYMPIAN.

Henry and his friend Daniel pretending to play instruments. Henry is on the guitar and Daniel is playing a trumpet. Lol! Such silly boys. They have been having weekly play dates now for almost 2 months. I am very happy Henry has started to make friends.

He is VERY slow to warm up to people to decide if he actually likes them and can trust them. Henry doesn't like big groups or having lots of friends like his sister does. He just wants a couple quality friends and I am glad he is finally finding them. He will have had 3 playdates this week with 3 different boys (after tomorrow), one of them being Daniel. He has become very observant of how other people are and whether or not they are genuine. It caused him ( & this worrysome mom too ) lots of sadness and anxiety earlier this year when he thought no one liked him and he had no friends. He is a good kid who just wants to be liked and do a good job and make people happy and proud.

First Time Surfing

Here are pictures of Henry learning to surf, and a couple videos. They learned how to wax the board after they had a brief tutorial on land of how to surf, then it was out on the water for 2 hours. 

Wrestling Pictures

The first 2 are the pictures we bought from the photographer, and the bottom one is the one I took of him after the photographer took pictures.

Sledding Videos

There is one more very short sledding video on sister's blog, but here is one of Henry and one of both of them.
