harrison's week-in-pictures

Harrison stands on a stool to brush his teeth now (we used to just hold him).

He joined a traveling band. They rock hard and often and H is the tambourine man.

This week he sat around, naked, quite a bit.

Sage is sleeping here more often, right next to the table, right next to Harrison. Strategy: dropped food will strike her in the face.

Harrison will eat peas. And no other green vegetables. He loves clementines, bread is ok, cajun turkey lunch meat isn't recommended, and whole milk (organic) is the bomb.

Peas taste better after a good smashing. Peas are never to be eaten from the plate, but instead dumped onto and consumed directly from the table surface.

One of the top four foods on earth is the sweet potato. Eat it quickly by the fistful so that it spreads across your face. With sweet potatoes, there is no time for manners, pleasantries or utensils.

H is getting better at brushing his teeth. He gets excited about it.

Q: Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?
A: I see a red bird looking at me.

Nose rug burn?

Yesterday at daycare, Harrison took a dive in the playroom and got a carpet burn on his nose. Of all the places to get a rug burn. How do you drag your nose across carpet fast enough to make this happen?

Harrison describes the serious nature of such an injury. No, actually his chalk had just been confiscated for drawing on the wrong wall and he briefly went to about level 8 on the freak-out scale.

Parker's birthday party

Last Saturday was Parker's birthday party. Lots of family and friends were there and Park scored big in the toy department. He also smashed a lot of cake into his face.

Festivus

cake.....goooood

Harrison thought the mini-dog was a cat.

One leg, dog kisses & puffballs

We are trying to teach Harrison to balance on one leg, kind of like Ralph Macchio.



Here, Harrison is giving hugs and kisses to Sage.


And here, Harrison shows Auntie Em the art of hurling puffballs.
