Eleanor at Henry's age

I was just thinking about how Henry is the same age now as Eleanor was when he was born. I feel so lucky to have my two little sweets around all the time. I think they enjoy each other, too -- most of the time. Here are a couple of pictures from when Eleanor was Henry's age and Henry was brand new.

Two Amazing Things

This may not be amazing for anyone other than me, and maybe the grandparents, but Eleanor did two things recently that I thought I should make note of.

1. This morning she spelled her name to me. E-L-E-A-N-O-R. No mistakes, hardly any hesitation. I was impressed.

2. A teacher at her school in the other 3 year old class told me that she and Eleanor had been talking about how Vince gets to work. Apparently, Eleanor told her that he takes the Metro. When the teacher asked how he gets to the Metro, Eleanor replied he takes the [number] bus. Eleanor used the actual number but for privacy sake, I've left it out here. She hears and remembers EVERYTHING.

Quote of the Day

I was preparing to make some banana bread this morning and all of the ingredients were out on the counter.

Henry: "Sugar, sugar, sugar! Want it!"

How does he know?! I mean really, how?
