Henry at the zoo...

I will say that my son has got manners up the wahzoo!!! He is so polite, caring of other feelings and just amazing in general. I am sure we all feel this way about our kiddos.

So, we are headed up the long walk to the car out of the zoo and at the information booth (which no one stops at) there is a grandmother aged woman, sitting in there, all alone. Henry is carrying his dinosaurs in a box that we got at the dino exhibit, but gently places them on the step to the booth. He climbs up and say's "stamps please." The woman was smiling and obviously pleasantly surprised. I told Henry that I didn't think she had stamps. She said she did not, but she did have some little bear stickers. She asked Henry if he would like one on his hand. He said quickly, "yes." She placed it on his hand and Henry said, "thank you" then, held up his other hand and said "two please." We both laughed and she gave him another one on the other hand. He smiled at her, said "thank you" and then got down and said "bye-bye" in his darling little childrens voice. I told him how proud I was of his great manners and that he was such a nice boy. Henry is SUCH a great kid!!!
