Since today is Henry's birthday, I thought I'd take an idea from my friend, Scrap Chair Potato, and interview him. Here is the interview, exactly as it went down:
- Me: Henry, I'd like to ask you a few questions. Would you sit down with me for a minute?
- Henry: OK. Whaddaya want to know?
- Me: How old are you today?
- Henry: Six.
- Me: What do you want for your birthday?
- Henry: (Thinking) A hug.

- Me: How old is Daddy?
- Henry: 35. (Hee hee)

- Henry: Everything.

- Me: How many brothers and sisters do you wish you had?
- Henry: 100.
- Me: Where would they all sleep?
- Henry: We'd move to a place with 100 beds. Actually, 6. I'd like 6. At least 6. And when I'm 7 years old, then I'll want 7. Then, 8, then 9, then 10, then 11, then . . . .12! Didn't you promise me a piece of gum earlier?

That's too, too cute. He's a pretty articulate little guy!
They're such fun at that age. Aren't you glad you can't grant his wish of 100 or 12 siblings?
Happy Birthday Henry!!!!

I love it! I wish one of my children loved to do laundry. I wonder, did he mean his favorite word was 'no' or does he not have a favorite word? ;)
I can't believe he's 6!! I remember when we came to visit you in Southern Cali and he was just 6 months. Do you remember that? I LOVE the posts!! Your kids are adorable...even if they do look like Jared!! : ) Just kidding....I think your cute Jared!!
Don't be mad but I might steal the interview questions for Addy's 5th birthday, it's coming up next week. What a good idea!!
That is so cute! He is a character! I think Home on the Range is pretty good song too.
