Henry is always planning and studying the calendar. Tate used to obsess over maps. Anyway, Henry insisted we celebrate his half birthday last week with a treat. The morning of, he asked me to let his speech therapist, Keri, in on the occasion so she could bring a gift. I had to explain that we may be the only people who celebrate half birthdays and that we don't do gifts. lol.
There was a recent news article about a 17 year old boy who went blind because he only ate 5 unhealthy foods for most of his life, like white bread and french fries. I told the kids about it as a warning because our kids are such picky eaters. I was talking about it while driving home and when we arrived, Henry, who had been in the back of the car, was crying because he didn't want to "go flying". Apparently, that's what "going blind" sounded like to him and he was afraid he could float away!
Eric saw Tate's wallet on the ground, so he hid it to teach Tate a lesson about putting his valuables where they belong. After Tate searched for days, we told him what Eric had done. Later he told me that when he has a kid he would do the same lesson and Henry agreed. Apparently they respond well to tough love!
