Harrison and Finny are about 25 months old now and have been together almost every week day since they were 4 months old. And today is the last day. Harrison is graduating to pre-school – a Montessori school within walking/biking distance of our house! I cannot accurately express the joy of not having to commute [...]
Aunty Kylies and Uncle Jeff gave Harrison a Fireman’s suit for his birthday and we opened it first thing in the morning after they arrived. And while Harrison loved it and immediately donned the hat, vest, badge and tools, extinguisher, walkie-talkie, etc… he was, per usual, more interested in the book that came with it. [...]
“Ride MY bike.” is pretty much the only thing the kid wants to do these days – inside the house and out. Morning and night. As soon as he wakes and instead of going to sleep. Even while he watches TV: Marc is pretty darn proud. Listening: Ty Segall
This is Harrison’s “serious face.” He can and will put it on at almost at any time. And can hold it even while we all crack up. And only when he senses that the joke has been fully appreciated will he start to smile. It is kind of awesome. Listening: Male Bonding
…like you’ve NEVER run around naked with a paper bag over your head while pretending to be a robot? Listening: Talkdemonic
Last week I wrote about H repeating the phrase “saves the day” and I didn’t know where it came from. I reluctantly and falsly assumed it was from TV. But, no – hooray! It was from Harrison’s most favorite new book. Fireman Small. Fireman Small was a birthday gift from Aunty “Booklady” Margaret. My Aunt [...]
Last Friday Finny woke up from his nap a little sad – missing mommy and daddy – and while Chelsea was cuddling him Harrison was riding his bike around the fun-room. He started to sing and Chelsea commented that it was a lovely song, to which Harrison replied with a sweet smile, “make Finny happy.” [...]
A few weeks ago the lovely Stephanie aka Gadora Wilder aka Scrape Myrtle came over for the evening. She arrived early before adult-dinner-time for a glass of wine and to brave the almost-two-year-old infested waters. Harrison was smitten with her and asked if she’d care to share his grilled cheese with him. And right before [...]
Last night at dinner H was eating like a champ so Marc decided to kick things up a notch and give him hot-sauce-dipped pineapple and chicken-egg-taco dipped in green salsa. Harrison was doing great with it all, just a little red lip from the heat, but, nothing this son-of-Marc can’t handle. Until it went too [...]
So, the kid – prior to his birthday which has re-focused all of his attention on more important things, like PRESENTS! CAKE! and MINE! MINE! MINE! – had been telling us that he needed to pee maybe once or twice a day. We’d rush to the kid-potty and he’d go. Standing up. Then I’d sing [...]
