Harrison is generally a very sweet, loving boy. He does have moments when his strong-willed personality comes out, but he is 2 years old & just brought home a little sister! Thankfully, he is usually very sweet to Sadie & wants to kiss & hold her a lot. He is getting more & more independent. He is trying to put shoes on himself, feeds himself well, doesn't want help brushing his teeth or his hair. He still loves to read before getting in his big boy bed but only after he kneels & says his prayers (which is the sweetest part of the day). When he leaves us, he makes sure to tell us Bye Mama, Bye Daddy lubs you! He has gone through a stage of calling Brian, Brian instead of Daddy (I guess because he hears me call him Brian so much). I have coached him so much that "his name is Daddy not Brian" that anytime someone calls him Brian he repeats that to them - "his name Daddy, not Brian"! OOPS! We have moved away from the highchair at home because he got a little table & chairs from grandparents for Christmas but we are still using one at restaurants to try to keep him secured. He has discovered piggy back rides in the last few weeks & always wants to "ride Mama back".
I hate that he is growing up so quickly - he really looks like such a big boy now that we have brought Sadie home - but he is such a fun, energetic age!
I am adding a couple of things that I forgot to mention...
Harrison is not really interested in coloring for long periods of time (even though they color regularly at school). He recognizes & can name all the letters of the alphabet but refuses to sing the ABC song. We are still learning colors, but he can usually recognize red, blue, green & yellow (mostly because he knows that Elmo is red, Cookie is blue, Oscar is green & Big Bird is yellow). He can count to ten but regularly skips over the number 2. He will repeat most any word that we say and is speaking in short sentences. I think that is all for now.
