Henry started T-ball on Saturday mornings last week. There are about 25 kids from 3 to 5 years old with a VAST range of experience. Henry had never played before, but he was definitely neither the worst nor the best. This week he was the loudest - and enthusiasm counts a lot.He seems to have that jack-of-all trades skill set as you can see in this video.
He does his own hitting, fielding, and base running - all on the same play. He did the same thing this week, knocking the ball down the first-base line, chasing after it, and ending up in a pig-pile on the ball. He got the ball, gave it back to the coach, and then took his base.
Sam is finishing a course of erythromycin for conjunctivitis in one eye. As usual, it has not affected his happy demeanor at all. Yesterday during lunch he turned in his chair, waved at Henry and I and said "Hi". We waved back and said "Hi" and Sammy repeated it again! He has been extremely good at echoing and recalling tones and short music sequences (think Beethoven's 5th), but this is the first time I caught him repeating a word.
More photos and videos coming soon.

Good cheering, Mom and Dad. I think Henry is just reacting to the current political atmosphere where experience is so crucial. So he's "covering all the bases" by working all the jobs in the field. Glad to hear Sam is joining in the conversation -- he'll have to be even louder than Henry to make sure he's being heard, so look out!
Looking forward to seeing (and hearing!) everyone at Thanksgiving!
Love,
Aunti Di
