Home sweet Home

Yet again the weeks have flown by as evidenced by the 3 week gap in postings.  I've been up to the Project site two times with colleagues from the US since the last posting, Scott has hosted colleagues from the US in Dhaka and also gone on trips around Bangladesh.  Phew.  We're finally both back and settled in the Big City and are really looking forward to our much need vacation that starts this Thursday.  Amidst all the movement, Henry has stayed sane as we're try our hardest to keep his world as stable as possible.  He's still having fun at play dates with all his best friends during the week, evenings at the Club whenever we can fit that in, and leisurely Friday mornings at the playground.  All too soon the weather is going to be dreadfully hot again so we're taking advantage of every outdoor minute we can have.  Since the basketball court area is the first thing Henry sees when we walk in the Club you can imagine we spend some time there. He's honed his basketball dribbling skills and periodically can pull of a 4 bounce dribble.  Move out of the way Steve Nash!

We've been quite impressed with how much Henry likes to eat.  There was a spell when he wasn't as interested in trying new foods but that phase has passed. Now he often asks "Try it?" while pointing to our food and more often then not likes what he tries even if the food is filled with gourmet spices. In fact, he'll even ask for "More picy (spicy)" when he tries something hot - and food can get quite spicy here.  He still favors anything cheesy and is starting to like meat more and more.  I'm glad he's back to trying, and liking, all sorts of foods because he, like me, gets to enjoy the availability of the winter veggies like pumpkin and cauliflower that unfortunately are only in the market for 2 or 3 months here. 

Hopefully Life has slowed down around here so get ready for more entries.  Until then, here's more of Henry and Baba while Henry is playing tether ball (which you can imagine he adores since that ball just keeps on coming back to him) and while Henry is swinging which in fact until today he never like to do.  Scott apparently had great technique today because Henry stayed in the swing for over 30 minutes.

I decided to throw in one photo from my trip north just to show you that while Dhaka stays somewhat warm, albeit chilly when the sun's not up, it can get quite chilly outside of the capital.  Here we are spending a weekend working outside (since it was actually colder in our little dorm like building).
