- two toilet paper holders in each of the upstairs bathrooms. Hooray! No more toilet paper rolls sitting on the bathroom counters!
- shelves in the mainfloor closet. The closet near the kitchen had only one high shelf for hanging coats from, but we use our front closet for that. And what will we do with all this new found storage space? Our current thought is to store the homeschool curriculum and school work there! That is...ahem...IF we homeschool.

life in our household is coming home last night to
- a toy train in the Craisins bag.
- dirt and leaves surrounding a house plant.
- a key missing from the piano.

henri talks to his doctor about many things
***UPDATED***
We went to Henri's 5 year check up today.
Below are his stats:
41.7 lbs--50th percentile
3 ft 7 in--69th percentile
Plus two shots, containing a bunch of vaccinations. I'm delaying the last two (MMR & Chicken Pox) which are both made in eggs until I get the go ahead from Henri's allergist. Also, I didn't feel right anymore about giving my children a ton of vaccinations at one time.
Henri was so brave. I asked him if he wanted to get his shots and he said, "Yes, I want a sticker." He laughed and giggled with the nurses. Cosette cried when they laid him down, but Henri continued to be jovial with the nurses. When they each poked him in the thigh, he cried. It was very sad for me. I don't think he expected the pain.
***END OF UPDATE***
Now that Henri is five, I found that his doctor was addressing most of his questions to Henri instead of me.
This is fine and quite humorous though sometimes embarrassing.
Dr. T: Henri, are you in a booster seat? (referring to a car seat)
Henri: No, Mama says that since I'm five, I don't have to sit in a booster seat anymore. (referring to the booster seat he sat in at the table)
Dr. T: Do you drink milk or eat cheese?
Henri: No, I don't like milk or cheese.
Dr. T: Do you watch more than 2 hours of TV?
Henri, laughing: Yes!!! (No, he doesn't.)
Dr. T, after checking Henri's nose, he jokes: Oh! There's boogers up there! Do you pick your nose?
Henri, giggling: Yes, I wipe them on my wall!
Later, while his doctor and I talked about Henri's allergies, Henri said:
Dr. T, if I repent and put my trust in me (I think he meant to say Jesus), then when I die and get to Heaven, I won't have allergies anymore! I'll get to eat eggs and peanuts and tree nuts.
Dr. T: Yes. And since I'll probably get to Heaven before you since I'm older, I'll have a big bag of nuts for you when you get there.
