The Babysitter Theory

So, Jason has this theory, and I'm saying it's true.

The Babysitter Theory.

Harrison enjoys his toddler bed enough, but he doesn't exactly sleep in it at night. No matter how tired he is when we lay him down, he'll get out of bed and go lay by the door. This would be fine, but then he wakes up in the middle of the night/early morning, not able to find Teddy, and we have to do the whole sneak out of the room thing after laying him down again. (Thank you, Zjani, for teaching me to be sneaky!)

Now, babysitters, both related and not, have told us that when they hear Harrison get up, they go in, say it's bed time, put him back to bed, and he stays. WHAT?!

This last weekend, with family, he wouldn't go to sleep. Just sat in the room and screamed. Finally, we asked Namaw to come put him to bed. Tada! He was out like a light!

So, we're thinking we're going to do what we saw on America's Funniest Videos: dress up like someone else, put him back to bed, and see what happens. Or, maybe, you would like to come over every night around 8:20pm?

Surprises & Fun

Harrison loves to drive. He begs to to drive our cars, and LOVES it when he's actually able to sit on the driver's seat. Last week, he bawled for 15 minutes because he "wanted to drive." Bet he wishes we lived on a farm! This attitude is coming way to early for us.

Harrison is getting the hang of driving his own car. He's still in the experimental stage, especially since other things take precedence over driving than him, such as Teddy, Puppy, and drinks (yes, drinks can drive).



This last weekend was super fun being able to head up north and spend it with family. Jason went up ahead, as he was presenting at the UCUR conference.

Saturday Elisha took her dad for their first pedicure. Should have taken pictures! If you've never had a pedicure, GO! It's simply wonderful, especially if you go to an actual spa. HEAVEN!

Jason surprised Elisha Saturday night with an unexpected birthday party at Hollywood Connection. It's an in-door theme park with a movie theater, ice cream parlor, and 50's-like restaurant. Why there? For Jason's 30th, there a magician was hired, so Jason felt it was only fair to have a kid's-themed party for Elisha's 30th as well. It was just fun to hang out with family and eat pizza.


There was a group of kids there from England, and we got to eat their left over brownies!

Keeping Harrison entertained was easy: he had Daddy and there were there buttons to play with on the juke box!



We were lucky to get the night to ourselves (Harrison went with Grandma & Grandpa) while we stayed at a nearby hotel. Wonderful! Of course, it was cold and snowed, so we didn't feel like going out.


Sunday was more fun with family, celebrating Tucker's first birthday. He and Harrison were playing so good together. Too cute!

32 Weeks and Such

CRAZY! Only 8 more weeks, and baby boy #2 will be here. Elisha's definitely feeling the weight now, and feeling gigantic. Otherwise, she feels great! But, we are more than happy to keep baby where he's at, since his room won't be built until a couple weeks before he's 'born.'

Here's what Harrison's been up to (since, really, that's the reason you're reading this blog, right?)

Harrison loves music, and discovered Jason's Ipod. Elisha was lucky to figure out how to turn it on. Funny how the young-uns know just what to do!

Harrison still loves his Teddy and puppies. Teddy has to be on a shelf during the day, reading stories, otherwise Harrison walks around dreamy, sucking his thumb. Puppies are fun to throw and play with, as well as sleep with.

Stealing Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Asleep. So sweet! I just couldn't wake him up without taking a shot.
