Halloween

This was the first time Henry was big enough to get Halloween, and he really got it.

At school the day before, he wore this pumpkin costume, which he also wore last year. (Check him out.) Cousin Amy Kaplan made this!
For the main event, however, Henry let his Presidential freak flag fly. He and Emily (mainly Emily) cooked up this Abe Lincoln outfit.

Once he understood the general principle of trick-or-treating, he was very enthused.


The last stop of the night was at his friend Alice's house. They had made some truly amazing pumpkins. All in all, a great evening.

Henry recites the presidents

We haven't posted in ages. In the meantime, Henry has memorized the presidents, his newest obsession. Here, he recites them using a placemat with all their faces as a crib sheet. [Edit: new version with subtitles. (!) ]
