Calvin and Hobbes

One of Henry's Christmas gifts was the Calvin and Hobbes compilation "Scientific Progress Goes Boink."

I adored reading this comic strip in the newspaper when I was a kid and I thought Henry might now be old enough to appreciate it.

Henry reminds me a bit of Calvin -- he also has a stuffed tiger (named Tiger, but spelled Tigier) and creates things like time machines out of scraps of cardboard.

Tonight he finally picked up the book -- and ended up begging for more time before bed so he could keep reading.

Love.It.

Pillow Talk

Tonight as he was falling asleep Silas threw an arm over me and said, "You're a good friend, Mom."

D'aww...

When I Get Scared

Tonight as I turned off Silas' bedroom light and laid next to him he said, "When I get scared I close my eyes, and think."

"What do you think about?"

He touched his hand to my chest and said, "I think about you."

My Heart, It Melts

Last night as I was lying down with Silas I said, "I love you so much, Silas." He put his arm on mine and said, "My wuz you so much too, Mom."
