some new sayings…
If Harrison wants to get up on something (chair, bed, couch, etc.) he says “Mine on! Mine on! Mine on!”
He seems to constantly ask where his friends, or daddy, are. “Ere daddy?” I tell him he’s at work. “Ere Jack?” I tell him he’s at home with his mommy and daddy. “Ere Babi?” (his friend [...]

We have such an exciting life…
Just for the sake of simplicity, Kelly and I have both gone on separate outings this week, by ourselves. They were both kind of last minute things, we both needed some “me” time at different times, and someone has to stay home with the kid.

He’s not saying these things to make you feel guilty. He’s [...]

What she said.
I love what my friend Cassie said about Water For Christmas. Her words:

A Few More Pics
Showing me how strong he is
Playing with his cars…putting them in a line. (Karen B- I think Harrison and Gracie are a lot alike! He hides from me, too, like she hides from her teachers.)

Stuff
We’ve been busy this week…just doing stuff. Tonight Kelly and I went out on a date while Harrison was at his friend Jack’s house (we’ve been trading off Friday night dates and it’s been working well!). When I went in to pick him up, Harrison had a harmonica and had been playing it for quite [...]
