Bossy Boots

Henry has become very bossy. I suspect this is partly due to the fact that he has had to learn to stand up to his sister and loudly tell her to "stop teasing me Sissy". The bossiness has extended to anyone who does anything he doesn't approve of, like for instance the little girl at the supermarket who was hurting no one by swinging her shopping basket while waiting for her mother. For some reason Henry thought she shouldn't be doing that so he told her very sternly "stop swinging that basket". Later while lined up at the checkout a lady stood behind us holding a cake she was waiting to purchase, Henry tells her "Hey, that's not your cake, put it back". Fortunately she thought it was somewhat cute and didn't slap me around the head with the cake for teaching my child bad manners.

That night while in the shower I heard him telling his cars to go to sleep. I looked around and he had them all turned upside down and was telling them "goodnight, sleep tight". He then ran from the shower to get a towel for their blanket. He covered them and then lay on top of them to hug them.

It's probably good that he's learning to stick up for himself with his sister. It's just too bad kids have to carry it too far.

How cute, though.
