Go Henry, Go Henry!

Every weekend I plan on chilling out and not running around but that never seems to happen. On Saturday we spent 2 1/2 hours at the DMV b/c I needed to get my VA driver's license. I still had my MA license with my maiden name and with us all flying to FL in a couple weeks I thought it best to get one with my new name (Missy Jo Dixon-yee haw!). The DMV was wild! Henry and David spent the first part of the DMV trip in the car (Henry sleeping and David talking to his mom). When they came in to wait with me Henry got a kick out of this little boy who kept running up to him. It was the first time I have ever seen Henry react positively to someone his same age. It was really cute. Another little kid really liked Henry but a little too much. I didn't witness the first meeting between the two but David told me the 3 year old grabbed Henry in a bear hug and wouldn't let him go. Henry and the boy, still in the bear hug, fell to the floor. I met the overly friendly kid about 20 minutes later when he was kissing Henry's hands and trying to pull Henry off his Dad's lap. After the DMV trip we had planned to do some shopping in Georgetown but we drove home first to change Henry's diaper and wipe him down after he had been attacked by crazy DMV kid. In Georgetown we went to the Patagonia store and walked around a little bit (had to stop into Haazan Daaz for a strawberry milkshake, Henry's favorite drink). We walked along the water and Henry enjoyed seeing boats and some ducks and a guy playing drums on buckets. It was about 4pm and Henry still seemed raring to go so never the type to take a hint that it would probably be a good time to take the boy home, David and I decide to go to the National Mall and go to a museum. After getting in the car, Henry was asleep in 5 minutes so we just drove through DC and went and checked out our old hood. The Eastern Market was recently destroyed by a fire but it was good to see that rebuilding has already started. Henry woke up right before we got home and got his revenge the rest of the night. Around 9pm David and I were lying on the family room floor watching Henry run around the family room not looking a bit tired. Seeing that we still may have an hour or two before bed, we decided to flip through the channels to find a movie to watch (we were too tired to decide on an On Demand movie). The first movie I got to was Breaking 2: Electric Boogaloo. We laughed and started watching it and not 2 minutes later Henry is in front of the TV dancing. Probably not the best choice to calm Henry down but he was digging it and it was hysterical seeing him dancing. I totally forgot that 5 minutes before I had been praying that Henry would calm down and go to sleep.
