We can finally give Henry his much deserved "star" time now that we finally hooked up the new computer, even if we are a month late. He was not as obsessed with the whole idea of star status as Bryn had been, which was fine with the rest of us! I was the lucky parent to visit their classroom and read the book "Henry Works" as they sat in a circle in front of us. Then I sat back and watched with awe as my little guy grabbed the special pointer and discussed each of his pictures from his board with his entire class. Where did that poise come from? Who was this little man that spoke with such confidence and humor, as if he had been teaching for years? It was a thrill to watch him call on his friends who asked some cute questions about his pictures and then listen to his answers. Bryn was fine with Henry's star power until she realized I was serious about letting Henry sit on my lap instead of her and she had to compose herself from a mini tantrum to a somewhat supportive sister. It was tough but she survived. It's all life lessons, right?
Below he was talking about his plans for the week! Of course Bryn was his little assistant through the whole recording.
