Both Henry and Eleanor were glad to be home after their long travel day –\u00a0 and both gave Zapa very excited greetings.\u00a0 Henry has been working on some new tricks this week \u2013 making the appropriate \u201cpfffft\u201d noise for elephants, and an \u201cm\u201d noise for melts.\u00a0 He has been working on his walking, and can also now climb the slide all by himself (although Mom or Dad are always nearby because sometimes the dismount isn\u2019t as graceful :) ).\u00a0 \u00a0He also successfully put all of the shapes into the shape sorter \u2013 although Dad had to show him each time which hole to try.\u00a0 He is quite proud of himself with the shape sorter, and loves to clap after each piece goes in \u2013 and also when they don\u2019t go all the way in.<\/p>\n

Eleanor picked out both her outfit and Henry\u2019s outfit on Friday, bright orange pants and blue and white striped shirts. \u00a0They looked like a pair of jailbirds, especially when they were riding the rocking horse.\u00a0 On Thursday, Eleanor went for a trial run at preschool.\u00a0 She only stayed for an hour or so, and Mom was there the whole time.\u00a0 Next week she will go for a half day all by herself!\u00a0 Oh yeah \u2013 Monkey got a \u201cbath\u201d this week two, all new and fluffy.\u00a0 For those of you counting at home, this marks the third incarnation of Monkey.<\/p>\n
