My Baby is going to Pre-School

I just registered Harrison for pre-school. I can't believe it is time for that already. He is such a big boy now I can't stand it. He is going to pre-school at the same place where he is going to camp, at Children's Country Day, so I think he is going to love it. He starts in September and I even got a school supply list. I have to get him a package of glue sticks, 2 boxes of tissues and a box of thick magic markers. I can't wait to take him shopping for the supplies.

Orientation day at Camp

This summer Harrison will be spending 2 weeks in August at camp, Children's Country Day, and on Thursday we had orientation. We got to go to camp and tour around and see everything and meet his counselors. This was the first time Harrison was ever there. He absolutely loved it. The camp/pre-school has a ton of animals. So the first thing that he did was run over to the goats, then to the donkeys, ducks, chickens, llamas and finally bunnies. We then made our way over to meet his counselors. We met Sandy and Bea. They were both very nice. We then went into the art bus and to the play log cabin which he also loved. I didn't think I would be able to get him out of there.

But I did and we then went over to see the pool. We met the swim counselor and he splashed all of us, so I hope he has a good time in the pool.

He loved Country Day so much. When we were leaving he was crying so hard that he wanted to stay. I am glad that he liked it so much. It will make the adjustment to a new place much easier.

The Alter Ego Harry

Lately Harrison has been taken to pretending he is either a monster or an alien or a shadow. Now when he pretends to being any of these creatures he makes his voice really low and he says "I'm Monster Harry" or "I'm Alien Harry". It is absolutely hilarious that when he pretends...his name changes to Harry.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a relatively busy weekend. But if you ask Harrison what he wanted to do, he will tell you one thing...go to the Farm. Every morning when we woke up I asked him what he wanted to do today. He would think about it for a few seconds and then say "Go to the Farm". On Saturday, I told him that we couldn't go to the farm because we were going to the farmer's market, but there would be fun things for him to see there. Which there was. We wanted to get a hanging basket for our front door. Of course the ones that I liked were like $55. Cliff convinced me that I would probably kill it anyway and we shouldn't spend that much on it. So I found one I really liked for only $17. We also got some basil, mint (which I killed), tortillas and some honey.

On Sunday I asked Harrison what he wanted to do that day and again he thought about it for a few seconds and said "go to the farm". We had other plans that day (I can't remember because it has taken me too long blog this) but we didn't go to the farm.

On Monday I asked him again what he wanted to do and again, he thought about it for a few seconds and said "go to the farm". He is very persistant...and I thought about it ...and said...well yes we can go to the farm. He was so excited. But it was so warm out. It was about 97 degrees on Memorial day but we went anyway. I packed us all lunches and we went to the zoo which has a farm exhibit during the summer. He loved it and I think he got his fill of the farm.
