Henry The Explorer.

This is an old post I found when cleaning up.

Always looking at something. Older brother Rolly in the background sometimes struggles with Henry, but he is there always, something "head in the clouds" Henry will need.

The second youngest of our nephews is Henry. An odd place to start when introducing the kids, but I guess I have a soft spot for his place in the family, which most agree is closest to my own.

Aquaman in waiting?

Henry is the sensitive explorer. He is very sensitive at the moment, a phase he will likely out grow, but it has to be taken in context as well.

Younger brother Finn is also a very different creature, probably a future enabler for Henry's plans. Not his strength planning.

You see, henry does not cry about the bug crawling on him, nor even the one biting him. Henry gets upset about the ones he missed.

The personification of FOMO when dealing with the natural world, Henry will often be found wandering away from the group, even a group discovering a giant wooden Troll, to see what may be under a rock or in a pond.

You can rest assured that when he asks “can I tell you something”, two things will happen. Firstly, he will tell you anyway and secondly, the pearl of knowledge he is sharing is likely well beyond his years.

Second only to his love of nature which includes very extinct nature, Dinosaurs, is his Lego making.

Notice though, nature is also in the Lego world.

Most of his Lego builds tend to play to theme, coming in the form of submarines or aircraft, often with an exploration and animal theme, except when Harry Potter looms.

Even lunch does not get in the way.
