Movin on up

Harper's daycare decided to move her up to the two-three year old room this week. They thought she was getting too bored in her current room. Joe and I had just been talking about that, so we were happy they came to us with the idea.

This week is transition week. She spends some time in each room. She's doing great. She even went on the potty, which is super exciting. Nothing like a little peer observation/pressure to encourage her.

There is a sad side. You see Harper has a boyfriend Henry in her old room. They did everything together. She talks about him all the time at home. Apparently he has had a terrible week without her. He's been in a grumpy mood at daycare and at home. When I picked her up today, we went back to get her coat and Henry saw her and just lit up. The two of them started chasing each other and giggling like crazy people. His dad said it was the best mood he was in all week.

Way to break hearts already pumpkin head.

Melt my heart

Last night Harper and I were hanging on the couch, eating graham crackers and singing songs when all the sudden she leans over, smooches me on the mouth, says "mwah" followed directly by "wuv you." I almost cried it was so sweet. I wuv you too pumpkin head.

Ah Ceam

If you haven't yet eaten at Jason's Deli I would highly reccomend it. They have delicious, nutricious food. Plus, you get free soft serve ice cream. You can see how happy this makes our little pumpkin head.

After she eats we get to hear "All Done. Ah Cream!"

Mommy Broke

This is one of our favorite bed time stories.

As soon as we got it home from the library, Harper wanted to dig right into the story causing the rip you can see in the poor blue dust bunny.

As a dutiful mom, I exclaimed "Oh No. It broke. That was an accident. Mommy will fix it."

Now every night when we read it we get this commentary from Harper...

"Oh No! Broke. Mommy Broke"

Great...way to place the blame on me pumpkin head.

New Ink

With the good advice of my readers I decided to go with the pumpkin blossom tattoo. It only took and hour and a half, which surprised me. I got it between my shoulder blades and it looks really sweet.

Weekend of firsts

As Harper continues to grow into a little girl we are enjoying more firsts. This weekend we had her hair cut for the first time. She ate her first French fry (she always refused them before). She tromped through the snow for the first time. And she joined us at the table like a big girl. All in one weekend. Time is definitely flying by too fast.

I got yelled at...

by several people for slacking at the blog updates. Sorry. Well, not really. I've been reading a lot lately which I have totally enjoyed, so my kindle has become my electronic device of choice. The fact that I can check out books for free from the library has kept me and my wallet well stocked.

An unexpected snow day afforded me a free Friday to hang with Harper. We played a lot, visited daddy at work, went to the library and had mexican for dinner. So for all of you who only check this page for Harper pics (mom) here's a fix for ya.
