Harry turned 2 1/2 last week...now he is closer to being a 3 year old than a 2 year old.  Yikes!  The rate at which he is changing is simply staggering!  He is speaking in full sentences a lot of the time, can sing his ABC's (almost totally correctly), and can count to twenty.  He is still a little freak over numbers, letters, and Little People but is now starting to branch out a little into big trucks, airplane, and helicopters (heppacoppers).  The kid can hear and pick out a flying object in the sky like nobody's business!  While we, of course, have some behaviour issues with things like sharing, taking turns, not listening, disobeying and the like, he continues to be such a loving and sweet child.  And hilarious to boot!

We went to visit a preschool this morning for Harry.  He is getting to the point where I think he needs a little more structure and stimulation during the day.  And also, since he favors activities that are more educational we are thinking this would be a good time to make a transition.  While we love our current daycare provider, she obviously can't teach Harry things while taking care of a group of kids who are all different ages.  We love this particular preschool...but it is pretty pricey.  And with me cutting down to part-time here in a few months it will definitely put a strain on our already tight budget.  But I know if it's meant to be we can make it work!  He spent a little time in the classroom that he would be in while we took a tour.  When we were done, we got to peek in on him through the window without him knowing we were there and he was having the time of this life!  Kind of got us hook, line and sinker. 

Elliot is still his loving, super easy going self.  He is still worming along wherever he needs to go.  He is the best little eater, and I have yet to find something that he doesn't like to eat!  He can eat Puffs like a champ with no problem...never gagged on a single one!  He has started to babble a little with some dah dah dahs.  I think this latest round of teething has bothered him at night because he has been waking up a few times a week.  He has 5 teeth already...his top teeth are breaking through like gangbusters, poor little fella!!

Harry and I are currently fighting off a case of the crud...he has the nastiest sounding cough, but doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by it.  Hopefully we can avoid passing it on to Travis and Elliot!  Although, on this chilly, dreary, yucky day, I did get a small victory.  Both boys sleeping in their respective bed and crib at the same time.  Heck yeah!  As much as I dearly love those boys, it is nice to have a little time to myself!  And with that...Prince Harry has arisen.  Break time over!
