Henry at 6

Henry turned six way back in March and I realized that I never wrote an update about my boy at age 6. He is one of my favorite people in the whole world and I don't want to forget what he's like at this age.


Henry...
  • gives the best bear hugs ever.
  • has an amazing imagination and loves to play. He plays pookies, builds cities out of blocks, Magformers and Legos, and can entertain himself very easily for hours.
  • likes to play with words and tell jokes.
  • gets on famously with his cousin Mary. It's so fun to watch their special relationship develop.
  • enjoys reading and has been reading chapter books like crazy this summer. His current favorite series are Bad Kitty, Galaxy Zack, Magic Pickle, Ninjago, and Dragonbreath.
  • loves games (especially Rat-a-Tat-Cat, Zeus on the Loose and Castle Keep) but does not like to lose.
  • can play with Magformers endlessly.
  • loves to munch on herbs, especially garlic chives and mint, from the garden.
  • is sweet and loving and sensitive and polite.
  • gets upset if he hurts you accidentally.
  • loves adventure, hiking, and exploring new places.
  • is a foodie and loves the farmers market, cooking, baking, grilling and picking out new recipes to try.
  • talks nonstop!
  • likes to read the weather section in the morning paper.
  • learned to tie his shoes this summer!
  • prefers not to go to bed at bedtime and would rather stay up singing, building, talking, imagining, reading or playing.
  • loves music. Some current favorite kid bands are the Okee Dokee Brothers, the Verve Pipe and Recess Monkey.
  • has a goofy streak a mile long.
  • is making progress with swim lessons and actually likes going to lessons now!
  • has the sweetest smile and the best belly laugh.

Henry is one fun kid and six is a fantastic age!
