Heck No

While eating our over-sized super yummy chocolate chips.... Henri said, "Mom, you know there is music called 'heck no'."

"Heck no??  No I didn't know about that....  ummm... what kind of music is it??"

Claire being her normal self, chimed in:  "It's not heck no... it's techno."

To be honest... I think Henri's right... if someone asked me if I liked listening to techno, I'd say "heck no"!! :)

Words of Henri: The Table

Getting some cleaning done this morning... yes, I know...fun fun!

Henri and I were folding laundry--OK... really he was laying on my bed talking to me-- and I told him,

"When we finish with this, I need to go pick up the table."

His response: "How you gonna do that?"

Nice... my 3 year old is making jokes from my words.

Pinecones Are Yummy!

I'm not sure why I forgot about this... but the other day, Henri came running out of Chase's room and said, "Mom, can I have some pinecones?"  He had the sweetest look on his face, while I was laughing thinking he was joking around and that Chase had put him up to it.  "Pinecones?  For real?"  I asked.

"Mmmmm... pinecones are yummy.  I love fruit"

Then as he jumped up and down, he pointed to the unripe pineapple sitting on the kitchen counter.

Words of Henri: Cocky

Having gone to get my nails done this morning, I didn't get Henri dressed.  When I saw him and Chase standing next to each other, I said, "Henri, you and Chase match.  Your pants."

He looked down and smiled, then... as he was walking away... he stopped and patted his pants and said, "These are called cockies."

Huh? Come again.

"Ohhhhh, you mean khakis."

Words of Henri: Fancy Girl

Henri was sitting on my lap and as my hair was down, he naturally started playing with it.

As he touches my hair, he says, "You look like fancy girl."

Completely flattered and surprised, I say, "A fancy girl."

He tells me again... and I love it.  It absolutely makes me smile.  Me fancy.  Then, I say, "I'm a fancy girl?"

He then replies, "Noooo, you just a mom."

Flying a la Henri

As Henri stood on the edge of my bed looking at the floor beneath him, he said, "I think I want to jump." I told him to go ahead and then he said, "But I think I sceered."

"Ok, not a big deal, you don't have to jump."

Then he said, "But it looks like so much fun." With that he spread his "wings" and said "These will help me fly."

Words of Henri

Henri: "I found a best friend!"

Mom: "You did! Who?"

Henri: "You, you my best friend."

Words of Henri

Lately, the kids have been playing cops while they ride their bikes and scooters around the driveway. Last night, Henri was riding his bike and he dumped it. He was laying on his side with the bike on top of him. I saw him look around and was waiting for him to start crying... but instead he said, "That... pretty cool trick. hehh."

Henri on School

Discussing Henri being 3 and going to school, he says:

"I might not go to m&m school, it pretty far from Blockbusters."

You a...

As Aaron cuddled with Henri while tucking him in for bed, Henri was being so sweet... then he said, "Dad, you a butt crack."

That's been his word of choice for several weeks now. Hopefully he'll move past it by the time he starts preschool!
