Sophie's first words to us this morning:

SOPHIE: I had a bad dream last night about two words: FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.

The Henry Shuffle

Henry likes smiling, lying on his back, eating (fruit), the vacuum cleaner, grabbing eyeglasses, bouncing, and being hugged. He also likes to dance:

SOPHIE: If you sing really loud out a window in New York rats will come.

Bedhead

Piano lessons

When we play the piano while holding Henry, he likes to plop his hands on top of ours and go along for the ride. As soon as we stop he takes them off and bangs on the keys himself, until we start playing again. Then he plops them back on top again.

More talents

Andrew wrote a couple of pieces that he and his friends performed on the euphonium, bells and french horn (the video cuts out, sorry!):

SOPHIE: I don't have a cold. That's just boogers in my mouth.

Muscles

UPDATE: I changed the title of this post. Wow, if you want to increase traffic to your website I know the way. Not sure if the people coming to this blog were finding info about the tickets or guns they were looking for, though. Only guns of the pale and squishy variety posted here.

Good morning.

SOPHIE: If you don't play horsey with me right now, I'm going to cry FOREVER.
GINGER: Forever? Even on your wedding day?
SOPHIE: Yes.
GINGER: And on the day when you get a real horsey?
SOPHIE: Yes.
GINGER: And on the day when we go to Disneyland?
SOPHIE: Yes.

SOPHIE: Mom, this is how bad people sometimes sit.
ME: Wait, do it again so I can take a picture with my phone.

I am guessing that the source of this misunderstanding is a certain Beatles movie where the bad guys sometimes sit like that. That is my theory, anyway.
