We took the day to relax with Henry in Seattle before we leave at 7am tomorrow morning for Missoula. We plan on stopping in Moses Lake (where his great grandfather was born), Spokane for stretching and a picnic for an hour or two. Then powering there through Henry's usually super long (Im talking 4-5 hour) naps.
Henry was so sweet today. When I got him out of the car he said really sweetly, "I wanna go face noodle?" Over and over again. I felt bad telling him I had no idea what he was saying. Thor came out of the house and I asked him what he thought. "He wants to go to the Space Needle." We read about it all the time to him, and we point it out each time we arrive in Seattle driving on the 5. We promised that in 45 tomorrows he could go to the Face Noodle.
I had my first ever vegetarian Pho since reading Eating Animals. If you have a second please read this incredible post by Anna's post about the book. It was good, it wasnt as good. But ever since reading that book I can not get myself to eat factory farmed meat. Anyway. Henry loves the sprouts and the cream puff, which isnt so cute to watch (him eat the cream puff).
Henry is loving this book today.
Your Henry is a little sweetie...Thank you for taking the time to give us a peek into your happy journey. Be safe.
..Our daughter and son would love it if they lived in the land of 4-5 hr. naps with their kids, lucky you!

I'm a new visitor to your blog, and I've already fallen in love with Mr. Henry. One of the most adorable things I've heard come out of a child's mouth... The Face Noodle! Much better name than Space Needle. And that your hubby knew what Henry meant right away is just perfect.

Henry & I have a love for that book in common, haha. It's so good.

I love the Moomins!
It reminds me of the time we spent living in London when we first got married - on weekends we'd take cheap flights to other places in Europe and kept stumbling onto these moomin characters.
My husband insists that they based 'Little My" off of his wife, he says "Heck, she even dresses like you"
Fun to see that the Moomins have made it stateside. :)
