Harry has discovered a new favorite toy...strangely enough, it is an orange triangle. Who would have thought?? It is just a plastic triangle that goes with a box that you can put different shapes into. He doesn't show any interest in the toy or the other shapes that go with it, just the triangle. I'm thinking he will really enjoy geometry! He hasn't yet figured out out to crawl while holding the special jewel so he tosses it ahead of him, crawls to pick it up, and continues the process until he gets where he wants to go which is usually to the dogs' bowls, Christmas decorations, anywhere that he shouldn't be going. Funny kid.
I had four day weekend last week. It was so great! I got a lot of our Christmas shopping done, we went to a few Christmas parties, and we had some of our buddies over last Saturday. It had been awhile since we had all been together and we had a lot of fun! Harry really enjoyed the extra attention from everyone. He even got an early Christmas present, a Purdue football from Molls and Barney (thanks again!).
I haven't noticed Harry doing anything new this week. I think we have had enough developments for a while! He has learned to navigate up the two steps in our bedroom really well. I tried to teach him to go down the steps with some not-so-good results...he did well with the first one, then lost his balance on the second and fell right on his face. He cried for about a minute or so then he was fine. I think we probably won't try that again for a little bit! We tried some Puffs (kind of like a piece of cereal that dissolves quickly for you non parental types) and he did really well with them.
Oooh! Lots of stuff to knock off or steal! Last night Katrina (our babysitter) hosted a Christmas party for all of the kids that go to the daycare and their parents. It was really nice to meet everyone and get to know the kids a little better since I only see them for a few minutes each day that I drop him off or pick him up. She made dinner and everything. How she manages to do that while watching multiple children while I usually can't do it while watching one child is beyond me! She is really sweet and good to the kids, and I feel really lucky that we were able to find her. She also gave us some great news...she is moving to a new house about a mile away from us!! We didn't mind making the drive since we really like her, but now it will be convenient as well! After a bad start to our day today (Harry spilled a whole glass of strawberry milk that I stupidly left in his reach on our new carpet) we decided to go to eat lunch with Daddy. Then we walked down to the kids book store to get a couple of Christmas books. We then made a trip to Target to get some Resolve (of course, we didn't have any!) and to get a few more presents. And really, what day isn't made better by a trip to Target??
Okay, where is that stinkin' triangle??
