Fun on the Farm Facts

Well, it just goes to show that you can never take for granted what's going through your child's mind. When I had Henry tell Jared what he got to do at the farm he proudly announced; "I milked the goat's penis!" I was mortified, and SO GLAD that I had him practice it on Jared first. I then had to explain how goats, cows, etc have their 'boobs' between their back legs instead of in the front like mommy...awesome. I'm so excited for all the future awkward conversations that are going to come out of raising boys!

Davis Farmland

Our season pass to Davis Farmland is already proving to be a great investment as this was our fifth visit in the last week and-a-half! This was the first time that we came at 'milking time' so Henry got to milk the goat. I didn't get a picture of the actual milking because I was 'helping his hand' as he was a little leary of touching it. He has been doing so amazing with all the animals. I wasn't sure how he'd feel about it, because he's SO timid around any household animals, but he just gets right in the pen with the cows, sheep, goats, etc. Today, he had his first ever pony ride and he LOVED it! My battery died right before then (which I'm glad I used the camera today, or it would have been discovered that there were dead batteries as we were trying to take pictures at the hospital...if this baby ever comes!) so my friends took pictures of him and are emailing them. He really likes the calves, and spends quite a bit of time in their pen. The 'pretending cow' as Henry calls it, is one of his favorite features...it's full of water and the kids get to 'milk' it ;)

Humble Pie

Because he'll never brag about it, I'll do it for him...Jared's class completed their intern exam and just recently found out that they had the second highest average of all the emergency medicine residencies in the Nation!

Also, he took his last part of the licensing exam (USMLE) and passed with flying colors. I'm so proud of him!

BNL video clip...Henry dancing

Here's Henry dancing...I'm surprised that the audio isn't louder on this, because the sounds was really good there. Henry was getting pretty tired by this point, but was having fun clapping and bouncing around for the most part.

Henry's First Concert

Well, it was Henry's first concert, and overall it was a success. It was a ridiculously long day, starting out at 9am when we left the house (well, starting well before then, but you know) to get to Barnes and Noble and secure a wristband for the concert. From there, we went to the mall with our friends, since the concert was a little ways from home. We had the kids play in the play space there, and then had lunch, went shopping for really exciting things like nursing tank tops at Gap, and then headed back to Barnes and Noble in order to be admitted to the show at 2pm for what we thought would be a one hour wait. Turns out the show didn't start until 3:30, and it was so much fun (please read the sarcasm) containing Henry. Luckily, I had his 'back pack' so I just unclipped the tail, wrapped it around the chair and clipped it back on, so he was trapped. Remember also, he'd had no nap...double the fun! He actually did really good given the circumstances, and is now asleep for the night I think, after falling asleep in the car.

What was all this fuss for, you might ask? We had the chance to see Bare Naked Ladies perform for free from their new children's CD Snacktime and it was great. They also sang, as their last song, one of their most famous adult songs. If you're not familiar, this is the band that wrote and sings "If I Had A Million Dollars". It was pretty fun. I did lose it at the end, however, when Henry was crawling on the bathroom floor, because he was a 'dog'...however, I can't be too upset, given he was on a leash!

Waiting....

Henry is clearly enjoying himself :) This is before the music started, so it's not because it was too loud...I think he likes the way his voice sounds to him with his ears plugged because he was talking to himself while he did this.

Waiting some more...

YES! The wait is over!
