Henry has been really getting into trading cards. He has all sorts... Pokemon, Bakugon, Chaotic on and on. I think his love of these is really kind of research and categorization type of thing. The more the better.... his knowledge of mythical creatures is actually kind of staggering at this point. He is the same way with the natural world as well. He can tell you all about the many attributes of sea cucumbers and those things that are related to them. He loves to know, and to categorize. Lately we have been taking to making our own cards.
Henry loves it. I love that he loves it, and I guess I love it too, if I am honest. We are trying to fill in creatures by element. I love to see him expand like this, not only to know, but to create, let his own mind wander and see what he comes out with. There are few things as great as sitting down with Henry on a Sunday afternoon and drawing "cards."
