On her recent visit, Grandma Eileen brought two gifts (supplied by family friend Judy N.) that were very well received by our Resident Toddler. The first is a set of "Bob The Builder" (BTB from now on, since I'll have to write about him a lot) PJs that Henry wants to wear 24-7. Luckily it's a shirt and pants set, and while he's happiest wearing both pieces, we can avert a tantrum by letting him wear either the top or the bottom while we wash the other half. The other gift was a plastic replica of "Scoop," the big digger character from the BTB show. Man, Henry loves this toy. He calls him "Toop" and takes him everywhere he goes, including his crib. He also brings Toop with him when he comes into our bed at 6 a.m. for his early morning cuddle. I tell you, there's nothing like being beaned in the head repeatedly by a chunk of yellow plastic while you're trying to get a few more minutes of sleep to really make you reflect on how having a kid changes your life.
Henry digs his red rain boots, too. There have been several days where he happily spends the day in the BTB PJs and the red rain boots. Carrying Toop, of course. It's a good look.

I was looking at the pictures before I read the blog entry, and was thinking, "Boy, Henry really likes that bulldozer, whatever it is. I wonder if that's Bob the Builder?" Thanks for the introduction to "Toop," and I think I'll take the dog barking at me at 5:45 a.m. instead of being hit in the head with plastic. Fun times all around!
