Harrison was playing in his bedroom while we made dinner, when all of a sudden we heard a toy that he had when he was littler. One of the few toys he had that made noise. It’s a weird tool box like thing that when you click it is said: “That’s great buddy.” and other [...]
Harrison likes to read while he poops. Yep – poop-talk – good morning to you too! And more than a single book – he likes a good sized stack of books next to him resting on a stool. This morning he spent a good 5 minutes “reading” aloud the “This is the House that Jack [...]
Our office is situated right near the side door that adjoins the carport area. And when I’m working I can hear the car pull up. Typically the sound of the car is followed by the joyful wrapping on the glass door with a “MOMMY – I’m HOME!” But, other nights the gentle hum of the car is [...]
Finding the time to write is harder and harder these days. So I went back to look at some old stuff and realized how much I love this blog and how much I need to keep it up. And how important it is to get in the kid’s face and make him do tricks on [...]
I find it easier and funnier to write about this whole parenting experience when Harrison is acting like a lunatic. I think it’s a desire to vent and to record that kind of insane behavior so that I can torment him with it later. But, also when he’s acting like a perfect angel, I really [...]
last week: Harrison is standing on the stool ready to get his teeth brushed and he is out-of-his-head-tired — can’t stand still. He begins to lean against the sink and slowly by accident pushes the stool away from the sink. “I’m falling. Help! I’m falling… mommy! I’m falling! Help!” …and on and on while I’m [...]
THIS POST WAS WRITTEN A LONG TIME AGO and I never posted it… and it was truthful then… but, time flies and things change. The kid has actually passed through the demonic phase and scooted right into the mama’s-boy phase – which for Marc, may very well be more annoying. The kid turned 3 1/4 and became [...]
Yesterday morning began like any other these days… 6:15am tiny, stomping footsteps (H is a heel-walker like his momma) up the stairs to our bedroom. Sneaking to the side of the bed he gets really close to me while I pretend to still be sleeping. And rather than the typical tickling, yelling of “wake up!” or poking [...]
One of Harrison’s favorite pastimes is to play with toys, lose toys, ask us to find toys. We do not, to say the least, share his enthusiasm for that game. While at my parents’ house last week he received what is basically a dollhouse for boys – a Bat Cave with Batman, Robin and a [...]
Harrison has been becoming increasingly cute at bedtime – a ploy to get us to stay longer and allow him to stay up later no doubt. Here’s the conversation we had the other night at grandma and grandpa’s house. Harrison: “Mommy when I grow up I will be your husband.” Me: “I’m sorry buddy, I [...]
