Since Todd's last post about the Reigh's visit and Dutch Wonderland, our site has had some major traffic. Well, really there has just been one sweet little girl who just can't get enough of watching Henry going around and around on the rides. In honor of our blog's number one fan, here are some pictures of Henry with his favorite NC gal.
PS Christine, we'll try to limit all other super fun videos of Henry to under 5 minutes for your sake! Miss you! And hope we can get together soon! I have a feeling Santa might bring Elly a trip to Dutch Wonderland this year (feel free to not read that last part aloud to Elly).

A visit from Alaska!
Jenny's sister recently visited from Alaska. It was a great couple weeks of fun with family and Henry really enjoyed playing with his cousins. Watching them all interact made us really wish they were closer but we know they love it up in Alaska. Between playing in the yard, tackling uncle Todd, running around at Dutch Wonderland, the kids all got their share of fun over the last couple weeks. Enjoy the pix and video.

Help!
For the past few months (yes, months!) Henry has been resisting his nap. It started off as him just quietly reading a book in bed or playing with his blanket for the duration of "nap time," but has recently become a battle to keep him in bed for even just a "quiet" time. He has become quite good at procrastinating as he often asks for "little bit of water" or he says "Mommy, come get me" and he knows I can't ignore "Mommy, come change my diaper."
At first I thought I should push back nap time, nope that didn't work. Then I thought, ok, I'll make sure he is really tired by taking him outside to play, nada. Lastly, my thought was he must be out growing this nap thing. Well, once dinner rolls around and he is literally falling asleep at the table, I know his little body still needs some day time sleeping.
This afternoon around 5:00 he was eating a snack (and falling asleep). I tried to wake him up by switching to another activity, but when he was still falling asleep I asked if he wanted to lay down on the couch for a little bit. Surprisingly he said yes and even more surprisingly he fell asleep immediately. I really don't want him sleeping now (bedtime should be interesting), but I just can't figure out how to make him sleep at the right time these days! And what is even more frustrating is if I was given the chance to sleep everyday for two hours, I would take it! I sure do miss my sleep these days!
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
