Dear Henry,
You continue to be enamored with all things ball (or “baw” as you like to say it). And I mean any sport involving a ball. You are really good at throwing the ball, kicking the ball or hitting a ball with any given object. In regards to catching, well… we are working on that. You currently run at it with no attempts to catch it, but you have a complete blast anyhow.
By accident one day you found your dad’s snowboard helmet and have been obsessed with it ever since. Of course it is huge and heavy and, well, for snowboarding…but to you, this is your football helmet. Oh and you like to wear it backwards. You couldn’t be any cuter! Now you wanted to sleep with it, bathe in it, and eat while wearing it. We find ourselves hiding it when you aren’t looking. Sorry buddy… we are going to find you a real football helmet in just your size very soon!
You are lucky enough to have two cousins, Kyle and Connor, playing football right now. So we have the opportunity to catch games pretty regularly. You LOVE this. From the band, to the scoreboard, to the crowd and of course to the game itself…it’s all fascinating to you. I’m amazed at how you are participating at the games. It seems like you are really watching…and you are paying attention(more than Mommy actually)! You clap and cheer and yell “BAW!” repeatedly whenever you see it. You are equally fascinated with the cheerleaders. At one point you were waving and smiling the opposite direction of your cousins. When I asked you who you was waving too, you signed “girls” and pointed to the cheerleaders. Your father is so proud 
Love you buddy,
Mommy
