huh? you mean this thing can take videos?

So, like three years after everyone else started including videos on their blogs, I finally realized that it's as simple as pushing the "video" button on my digital camera, uploading the video along with my pictures, and posting it here. Can anyone say DUH?
I have really enjoyed seeing moving pictures of some of my little friends, and thought you might like to see Henry in action too.

The boys and I went to the zoo yesterday, arriving just in time to see the scuba diver in the coral reef tank. Henry looooves this, as you will see. Because of the location, the video is a little dark and there is a lot of background noise, but I hope you'll be able to get something out of it.

As I watch it, imagining myself as someone who doesn't know Henry, I notice all the autism stuff that we never notice anymore: the flapping and kicking, the humming, the hopping, and the repeating things over and over until I repeat them back to him.

We had a great day at the zoo. Tommy got his face painted again and Henry totally blew me away by saying that HE wanted to get his face painted too!! But by the time I ran 20 yards away to get out more cash and ran back, he had changed his mind. We will be going back in a couple weeks for "boo at the zoo", so he is toying with the idea of getting his face painted then.

Henry has always reminded me of Bud, but now I think that Henry could BE Bud. I love it!!!

I love it!!! He sounds to me just like you have always described him to sound. So cute! And now that you know how to work the camera, I will be expecting more video. I am so excited!

Yes! Yes! Hoping for more to come!

I love the fall. Nothing like a family stroll through the zoo!

It's so funny to me that you pointed out the "autism stuff." I watched it and just saw a very excited little boy,much like my own. Ok, so maybe my "yard stick" isn't exactly objective but I don't think Henry's "stuff" as obvious as you think --at least not in the video.

Can't wait to see more videos! :-))
