The Adventures of Henry

They never stop--the adventures. In a way, I hope they don't, anyway.

Have you ever tried shaking a can of cocoa powder, with the top off. It's pretty exciting. Henry can tell you all about it.

As Henry gets older, he gets more and more helpful. He likes to cook and vacuum especially. Last week he decided to wash the kitchen window behind the sink . . . with the sink sprayer. Our counter in the corner to the right of the sink slopes just enough that it will hold about 3/4 inch of water. By the time Anika noticed and came to get me, we already had a little swimming pool going. We could have given Morgan's fish, Swimmy Huckleberry Fin Stuart Petty Willis, a great time. Or he could have swum in the water that had pooled in the oven. Or in the water that had pooled in the cupboard. Or on the floor. Too bad I didn't think of it at the time.
