elephantitis

No, no one's grown any overly large facial protuberances... A while ago, I posted about Henry's memory and how amazing it is. In case you weren't convinced then, I now shall present even more evidence:

On the retreat "wif you big kids" this past weekend, Henry was eating an apple slice, and proceeded to tell everyone how he picked apples off the tree at Gram-Gram's (my grandma, his great-grandma) house with Nana. Okay, over a year ago, you might remember that Henry and I took a surprise trip to see my folks and we went apple picking at my great-aunt Nanette's house. So it's not his Gram-Gram, but they are sisters and it's pretty dang close if you ask me.

This morning, Henry pretended to fall off my bed and said, "Ka-BOOM-bah!", which my Uncle John said to him a year ago at Christmas. We've said it since, so that's not that strange. I told him, "Your Uncle John says that.", and he replied, "Yep, at Uncle Chip's house." It was at my Aunt ML and Uncle Chip's house that this happened with Uncle John. 10 months ago! Impressive, no?
