That Boy


This last Sunday afternoon, we had all settled into our customary spots for our naps. Millie and Julian were on our bed, Olivia was in her crib, and Harrison and I were downstairs watching T.V. I had fallen asleep quickly, but Harrison proceeded to play around in the room. The night before, Olivia's pearl necklace broke and there were pearl pieces scattered randomly around the room, well Harrison found one of these pearls and began to play with it. In his great four year old wisdom he decided to see how far he could push the one pearl up his nostril, unbeknown st to him it inevitably became stuck. Thinking that he would get in trouble if he woke me up from my Sunday nap, he ran upstairs to get Millie's help in getting it out.


Now let me tell you, I didn't know about this until the next evening, so Harrison had to reenact how Millie and he had decided how to remove it from his nose. I almost crashed the car when I turned around and saw him showing me how the accomplished this impossible feat. I have asked him to reproduce it for the picture above. All he had to do was blow to shoot it out. : )

Harrison

This morning we were sitting on our bed playing with Olivia (actually we were arguing as to who would feed Olivia her breakfast), when Harrison came in to join us. He quickly accepted the mission of going into the kitchen and getting his little sister a Graham Cracker.

A short time later we hear him struggling with a new box of crackers. The next thing we know the box of crackers popped open and fell to the floor and then "OOHHH! I didn't 'spect that to happen," Harrison exclaims.

We could hardly contain or even disguise our laughter as he came triumphantly back into the room with the broken cracker pieces in hand.

That boy makes me laugh.
