Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall

Henry, also cheering for the red team.

Last night Henry and I went with my brother and his family and some friends to watch the red/white Razorback football scrimmage (see pictures above). Henry and Karl were both very well-behaved. You never know what will happen with a two-year-old. (I highly recommend to all mothers a portable DVD player--my dad got it for Henry for Christmas and it has bought us many peaceful meals out at restaurants.)

I thought D.J. Williams and Micheal Smith looked good. The quarterbacks couldn't be tackled, so I'm not sure about them. Casey threw and interception, but also threw some nice passes. So did Nathan. It's hard to tell much in a scrimmage, but I can tell that Patrino will have plenty of support this year from the fans. The crowd was estimated to be about 40,000. The lower decks all the way around were about 75% full.

Today Henry has gotten himself into some trouble. First, I caught him eating dog food. Thank goodness our dog food doesn't contain any peanut ingredients. I don't actually think he swallowed any, but he was not happy when I forced it out of his mouth. (I swear we feed him meat, so don't go feeling sorry for him Teresa!) Later today I put Henry down in his crib for a nap. He usually goes down for naps and bedtime very willingly, but today he was very upset. He was kicking and screaming and crying. A few minutes later we heard this big thud and when Chad ran in to check it out, Henry was standing in the middle of his room crying. Henry fell out of his crib! It sounded like he fell head-first. Of course I wanted to rush him to the emergency room, but Chad is a little calmer than I am in situations such as these. Henry is just fine, but he cried for quite a while. I think he was really scared. Needless to say we spent the afternoon digging in the attic finding the parts to convert Henry's crib into a toddler bed. Henry is asleep in his new big boy bed right now. My little baby is officially a toddler now.
