Henry has had many of the same friends in his class since he started at his school in the summer of 2013. We were finally able to enjoy some time together outside of school and Henry (and Elliot) had a blast. After an hour or so when some of the kids turned to playing games indoors, Henry took advantage of time with a friend's dad who threw the ball with him, and then Elliot, for quite a long time.
The next day that weekend we went to the Botanical Gardens after a many-month spell when we didn't go. We spent many hours exploring the grounds and certainly enjoyed the frog feeding session. Henry and Elliot spent a good amount of time hunting down the quail that hangs out in the 'rain forrest' who Henry named "Quilder of the Wilderness".
Not only do Henry and Elliot like to dress the same sometimes, but when it comes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, if one has the shirt on the other one needs to follow. By the way, in case you should ask, Henry's favorite Turtle is Raphael and Elliot's is Leonardo.
The other wardrobe preference update happened one morning when Henry said "I stand for Yasir (his best friend at school) and Yasir wears soccer socks to school." Therefore, Henry felt he should wear them and now tries to all the time. Too bad we have only 3 pairs. Interestingly, it turns out Yasir and Henry were on the same soccer team last year and now just started being classmates.
Last Saturday we participated as a family in the Winship Cancer Institute annual 5K to support cancer research. It was fun to be back at Emory of this event. The boys enjoyed our first family race and cheered us on as we ran the course - all the while pushing 115 lbs of boys and stroller. Scott pushed most of the way but since I had the stroller the last ~1 mile I got all the glory at the finish line :)
Note: Henry is wearing bright orange soccer socks.
