"I like to live close to danger"- H

Henry has been doing all kinds of new things all by himself. One of these things is washing his own hair in the shower. Last night, while he was working up a good lather, I reminded him that his shampoo is tear free. He decided that the next logical step was to squirt of blob of it into his eye.

**Result: Not tear free when placed directly into the eye.

I'm thinking of keeping a log of all the items that he has consumed as a child, so when he is an adult and discovers that he has an abnormal tolerance for dangerous household items, he will understand how he made it happen.

On Thursday Henry attempted to knock out his two bottom teeth by jumping out of the car and directly into Gigi's forearm.

**Result: Blood, tears and two prematurely wiggly front teeth. The upside is, of course, the potential for an earlier visit from the tooth fairy. Better get busy making a pillow.

me, too. One of the things I love about New Orleans is how beauty and danger dance.
