Harper Time

It's been a long time since Harper has made much of an appearance on our blog.  So, since he and I are home sick today, I thought it might make for some good reading.

After spending the day at home myself yesterday, I woke up still not feeling stellar.  Harper also woke up on the yucky side.  He sounded gross and, more noticeably, he did not even touch his breakfast.  Now, this is very out of the ordinary for him.  Anyone who knows him, knows he very much enjoys his food.  And, any one of his teachers will tell you that he normally eats two breakfasts a day (one at home and a second one at school).  So, to not even touch one breakfast....something is wrong!  After making the decision to stay home again, Harper sat in my lap and just rocked for almost 3 hours.  I took him to the doctor to find out he did, indeed, possibly, have an ear infection.  Of course, we get home...and the videos below detail what follows. 

It all started with naptime.  After cuddling in his bed and reading Goodnight, Moon (he loves to pretend the fireplace is burning his fingers), he kept asking for his Bible.

After reading his Bible, I thought for sure, he was settled in, ready for a nap.  Until....

 

Finally, after realizing he had pulled one on me to stay home....and now pulled another to get out of a nap (all while I'm feeling legitimately sick)...I caved and let him play some guitar.

Ahhh, Young Love

After all our penis talk, we are finally making a turn around.  I think I can see sweet boys on the horizon, yet I know "Boys will be boys!"

Sunday night, driving home from church, Warren (out of nowhere) says "Mommy, I wuv Kendall.  I think I'm gonna mawwy her and kiss her."  After getting over the initial shock that he even knew the word "married"....let alone knew that married people love and kiss each other, and after regaining our composure, we gently explained to Warren that people don't get married until their grown ups, and when you choose someone to marry, it should be someone who loves God and someone whom you love.

Fast forward a couple of days on the way to school.  We were listening to Todd Agnew's "Grace Like Rain" (which I must say does not compare to our FUMC Praise Band version), when Warren says "Mommy, this is the song Daddy and Ms. Ivewisse pway.  But, it doesn't have Ms. Ivewisse's piano part...and that's my favowite part!  I think I'm gonna mawwy Ms. Ivewisse."

After considering our previous discussion, clearly he realized the mistake in his first bridal choice was her age.  After all, Kendall JUST turned 5, so he moved on to a grown up.  And being that Ivelisse is a newlywed, I shared with him that she is already married...and when someone is already married, they can't marry another person.  (Seriously, was this a conversation with a 4 year old?)

So, we've ruled out kids because they're not grown ups.  We've ruled out other married people, because...well, um....they're married.  Next up.....the new babysitter.  Sunday morning, I was sitting with Warren when he says "I know Mommy.  I'm gonna mawwy Ms. Awwison."  I quickly text Allison.....she says yes.  End of discussion!
