A New Nickname is Born?


Just a quick story. This evening Henry was practicing his sitting on a blanket on the floor. He still isn't particularly steady, and at one point while reaching for a toy, he collapsed forward on his face. I yelled, "Oh no! Henry fell over!" Max's response was, "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall." Not only is this just plain funny given Henry's decidedly egg-like bald head, but it is also impressive that Max was able to take a real-life situation and compare it in a humorous way to a nursery rhyme he just learned the other day. I am continually amazed by the way that Max is learning to use and manipulate language. The human brain is truly a marvel!

It's a tough call in my mind - shall we call Henry Humpty Dumpty or Henny Penny?
