My Little Village People
So, what do you do when a blizzard keeps you hostage in a tiny apartment for too long? Why, dress up your children like a flamboyant but ever popular disco band from the 70's for great laughs all around. Duh.
It's fun to stay at the....

The Entertainment
Harrison picks up one-liners very easily, much to our entertainment (and I am sure to my public embarrassment in one form or the other someday soon). After just a short weekend with the grandparents, he came home delivering a spot-on impression of his Papa. This provided our family with hours of enjoyment, so of course I have to share what we caught on tape. Enjoy! (Note: We usually do not ask our children to hit themselves (or others), but again this is for the craft of impressionism and I promise you is true to Papa-form).

Husbands in Training
We've had to spend some time at the furniture store lately- more time then my children would prefer. This last time they just assumed the position. Sorry, it's kind of a poor shot, but I am loving the crossed arms and utter lack of interest. Their father would be proud, and I at least I had five minutes of peace.

So Grown Up
Just some snapshots of my favorite almost four year old. That would be Ben, if you were wondering. :)
His favorite thing to do like daddy.
A mini-date with best bud London. Trying to impress her with his superior listening skills.
Love his hamming-it-up smile. It always consists of leaning head to the right and saying "Cheese!"
Olan Mills would be so proud.
So peaceful, and now mama gets a breather. Yeah me.

Regression Agression
Harrison is a gentle child. Very patient and kind. A joy to be around, with his perfect comedic timing and smooth talking. In my humble opinion he may just be the George Clooney of his playgroup. But lately around 2 a.m.- not so much. You see Darrel and I have committed an unsavory parental sin. For the past 4 months or so we have been catering (surrendering) to Harrison's regression back to his wee hours of the morning bottle fetish for the sake of sleep. Yes, that's right I said bottle. Yes, Harrison is almost two. Yes, we have judged others in the past for still giving their children bottles past 18 months. We know. But hear me out. This child LOVES (Capital "L" on the OVES) his bottle. He will endure a sippy cup all day long, but for bed time, well that's another story. You see the mere mention of a bottle will send Harrison giddily around the room giving hugs and kisses to everyone while singing "Nigh, Nigh!", which is then followed by a mad dash to his bedroom where he proceeds to beg to get in his crib. What parent doesn't want that? Dream of it? Let me show you a picture of his bliss....
And within a few minutes, we have this.....
So you can see how it's hard not to cater to him. But like I mentioned earlier, without fail he has been waking up every night to get a second round served up. Let's just say that he is a little tenacious about his demands. To us it feels a whole lot easier spending a minute getting his bottle for him, warming it up and handing it to him instead of listening to him go nonstop and fullforce from George Clooney to something reminiscent of Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" moment from "The Shining". Yikes is right. But, despite the theatrics, Darrel and I have decided to stay strong and united as we debottle our child. So please pray for us. He's very charming.
Seeing the light at the end of the very long tunnel,
