Henry

Luke has a new little friend at school named Henry. Henry is not new to school, in fact he and Luke were in the same class last year. No mention of Henry last year but this year he is all we hear about. Luke is doing tennis after school on Tuesday with the rest of his carpool. He did a couple sessions last year and loved it. When I asked him today how tennis went he said, "I don't like tennis because then I can't stand in car line with Henry and chit chat! The other days Henry doesn't go in car line and this is the day I can stand in car line with Henry." I then pointed out that he sits next to Henry during lunch AND what about recess??? Luke's response, "lunch is not so long and at recess we are busy playing games. There is not enough time to talk to Henry during the day." Couple key points: 1) Yes, our son used the phrase "chit chat" which I found mildly amusing. 2) I clearly need to speak with the school about the fact that the kids are being kept busy during the school day and don't have enough time to sit around and "chit chat" :) I was talking to Henry's mom at parent/teacher night. Poor thing, after we acknowledged that our kids were mutually obsessed with each other, she said, "please tell me you aren't moving away? Henry came home and said that Luke said he is moving after Christmas." Apparently there has been a couple other friends of Henry's that have moved away. Lots of movement at St. Phil's in the last couple years. I hope Luke finds another Henry at his new school...something tells me he won't have a problem!
