I just got an email from Williams Sonoma advertising the "Perfect-Ending Cupcakes" except I read it as "Neverending Cupcakes". You can imagine my disappointment.
I'm not quite sure where February went. Usually it feels like the longest month of the year despite its being the shortest, thanks to the winter doldrums and cabin fever and colds. Instead this year we've had so many things going on: so many birthdays, so many visits from Grandparents, so much hanging out with friends. If every February is like this it may just become my favorite month. Maybe. Probably not, but it's definitely trumped January.
Henry's been a bit of a piss-whistler lately. He really testing limits, so they say. "Testing limits" translates very quickly into "lots of time spent on the time-out chair". On the plus side, he's been coming out of his shell a bit. He mostly likes to spend a lot of time on the outskirts, checking things out, not necessarily being an active part of whatever rabble is being roused. Last week at our Friday playgroup out of nowhere he charged one of the other moms so she would tickle him. He also spent a lot of time rolling around on the floor, which doesn't seem like great shakes except my kid doesn't roll around on the floor much, especially when other people are around. He's also been making all sorts of growling and roaring sounds which scared us half to death the first few times he made them, our reactions most likely being what bumped them up into his Top Ten Favorite Things To Do.
Tomorrow at playgroup this really cool guy is coming in to host a kid-oriented music hour. I'm betting Henry's head is going to explode when he pulls out his guitar.
Comments
Some of us are just dying to hear how Henry received music hour. Did he respond by saying, "No song. No song."? ...or, "Henry's guitar. Henry play guitar."? ...or did he listen in awe? ...or?

Is that your town?
You live in a real town with runners and stuff!
I have stumps and snowbanks and the occasional turkey.

I am still too sad about the cupcake story...

Mel, we definitely have runners. The Bucknell mens track team runs by our house. This is especially exciting when the weather gets warm because they tend not to wear shirts. Wait, did I just write that out loud?
Phoebe, I am too. :( Forget perpetual motion, I'm much more interested in neverending cupcakes.

ah, the glory of the mens sports running in the summer.... could almost make up for lack of cupcakes.

Wow, I actually think that is my second Johnny Cash-related reference on your blog.
And yet, still no description of Henry witnessing the most amazing local celebrity ever...in Lewisburg.

Okay, scratch that, I just caught up with the rest of the blog....Maybe Henry had an epiphany and just can't share it with the rest of the world yet and someday it will come out in song.
