Harrison now has a new "big boy" room, with a real bed. He's not quite ready to sleep in the new bed yet, but he is very proud of "my new room" and we read books together and get dressed in there. For now, he is still adjusting to the freedom of his toddler bed. Keeping him in that bed has been a struggle---he likes to get out and sing and generally try to coopt us into to staying with him. About 30 seconds after putting him to bed, we usually hear "Oooooh, Mommy!" And now that he can reach the light switches, he sometimes just turns on the light after we leave him. Hopefully, this is just a phase!
For those of you who haven't heard, Harrison was fairly accident-prone this last month. He fell off of a tricycle at school, biting his lip, which required stitches and loosened his two top front teeth. Four days later he tripped and fell off of a porch step and lost one of the loose teeth. He will unfortunately be without that tooth until his permanent one comes in a few years down the road. We were heartbroken for him, but thankful that he was not more seriously hurt. As you can imagine, we are following him around like helicopter parents lately! One encouraging thing, and indicative of our Harrison's personality, is that he hopped right back on that tricycle the next time he went outside at school---completely unphased!
Given all of this chaos, we don't have quite as many pictures to post as usual, but at least a few to enjoy. We'll post more from Halloween and hopefullly, we'll get a trip to the pumpkin patch in soon!
