| And here's this beautiful sight in the meantime |
Let's do a list so I can catch you all up on all the excitement:
- Harrison has progressed from "dada" and "gaga" and has said an actual word: Dog.
I'm only counting it because I've heard a real solid "dog" out of him about four times. I will flip through books with him, and point at a dog, and ask him what it is, and he kinda stutters and makes some clucking noises, then finally manages a "d" and a "g" in some concoction that is definitely not English, but I'm counting it.
- The holidays are approaching rapidly and I am not ready.
Actually, I have completed the gift purchasing for one family member, and Dave and I agreed to not do gifts this year as an attempt to budget (ha!) for our wedding, and Harrison doesn't know what the hell Christmas even is, so I guess that knocks out a few more. When people ask me what I'm getting for Harrison for Christmas, and I tell them a sled and that's it, and they proceed to look at me all horror-stricken, I think: and that's why the human race is greedy. A one year old will be perfectly happy with a sled, because he doesn't realize there are millions of other toys that he could have gotten in addition. I'm saving myself now while I can. Plus, let's not pretend that all of his other family members will spoil him. Let's also not pretend I fully intend to get him a puppy one year for Christmas so there's that too.

- I removed myself from Facebook... temporarily.
Until I can't last any longer. My main reason for deactivating was that I felt it took me too much away from Harrison. Not that I won't be on my phone every now and then to text, Instagram, or check Twitter, but I felt that checking Facebook on the reg not only distracted me from Harrison, I just felt like I was getting to the point where the majority of what I saw on Facebook was negative and/or annoying me. I really don't care about some bitch that wore blue eyeshadow to your class. Not to say I'm above indulging in a good Facebook stalk every now and then, but I just really don't care about most other people. Sorry I'm not sorry.
- Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I plan to eat all the things.
SAMESIES
And drink all the things. That's all.
Are you as excited to stuff your face for Thanksgiving as I am?
THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
ReplyDeleteI came home last night and Eric was holding a toy he'd already ordered for Harrison without even telling me! How cute is that? It's 3+ but Harrison is advanced so it will be fine. Plus I think anyone who has seen your house knows Harrison is not suffering in the toy department.
I do not miss Facebook yet. At all.
I was so disturbed when searching pinterest/google for recipes with how many "low fat" and "healthy" thanksgiving options came up. We are frying a turkey and injecting it with butter. I pity anyone not eating all the things tomorrow. Be healthy some other day. Any other day.
Harrison has the cutest chubby legs! Vicki (who has been in culinary school for a year already) has taken over the cooking. Hooray. I can't wait to eat everything also. And I hope there are tons of turkey leftovers...
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, save your budget now while H is too young to know the difference or care. A sled is a great gift.
And Facebook is stupid. (Although I love Twitter)
Harrison will love his sled!!! And yayyyy for combining consonants!!! :)
ReplyDeletePeople are horrified you're just getting Harrison a sled?? That's ridiculous. I don't plan on buying much of anything for my kid, considering my parents and InLaws are going to spoil the crap out of it, so I should probably maintain some semblance of normal.
