Role Play: A Funny Henry Story

I've read in my mothering magazines and child development books that the 3's are the age of role play. It is amazing how children's behavior can generally be thrown into buckets, and this certainly applies to Henry... which leads me to a funny Henry story:

Gram and Pawpaw (my parents) took Henry to the Field Museum last weekend so that Chris could have some time to himself to get the baby's room set up. Henry has been to this museum a few times; for those that don't know, the Field Museum is the "dinosaur" museum with T-rex and other prehistoric animals on display. Apparently these animals were too close to real life because he was afraid to enter most exhibits.

SO, Gram & Pawpaw decided to take him to lunch at the Panera inside the Museum. Henry generally behaves himself at restaurants, but this day proved to be different. While Henry was eating, he was talking a lot, but it seemed to be a lot of gibberish. THEN, all the sudden Henry decides to spit, or spew, his milk all over Gram. Gram wasn't too happy and was very confused because Henry is generally well behaved.

They decided it was time to head home. When they got home they decided to watch a movie, Henry's current favorite is Madagascar. For those of you who are Madagascar fans, you remember the scene in the beginning where the animals are all talking while at the Central Park Zoo. I forgot what was said, but the animals all reacted to a comment made by the Zebra and the Giraffe dramatically spits out his drink. Suddenly a light bulb went on in Gram and Pawpaw's head... OHHHHHH...

Gotta love kids!
