Harrison: “Mom, see that water coming out of my eyes?” Me: “Tears? What are they from?” (There were no real tears – he had just been laying down and his eyes were watering a little bit) Harrison: “It’s ’cause I missed you. A new category has been added to this blog – this post now [...]
I picked up H from school after a rough day (he didn’t sleep well the night before and he was exhausted. He just wanted to “eat dinner and watch Shrek” – which frankly sounded fantastic, however, early that day I had banned TV for the entire day (I have no idea what I was thinking – [...]
Harrison: “I’m not too big. I’m not too small. I’m perfectly sized.” Listening: Ben Kweller
Harrison: “Mom, I love you more than posipcals.” So, first – he is trying to say popsicles – it’s the one word that trips him up that we can’t bring ourselves to correct, because it’s too darn cute.

I bought him that shirt on Saturday. We’ve washed it three times. He’s worn it every day. And to bed twice. H: “Dad-dee. We have to go to the store.” Marc: “Why buddy?” H: “We have to get YOU a Superman shirt.” Listening: Jenny & Johnny
Harrison is really into telling stories – or rather, stoywees – these days.
