The playroom is complete!

The playroom is complete! Well...almost. I would still like to get little plantation shutters for the 3 tiny windows but that isn't exactly a priority. The tent I have been waiting for from Restoration Hardware for 2 months finally came! Of course they completely forgot to monogram it "Harrison's Hideout". I am not surprised. I am done with them!!! What's important is that Harrison loves it. The playroom is like our little preschool!

He stuck his finger in my belly button and said "belly button" which was amazing. He says "Bite it" constantly and "Bite Daddy". He is starting to hit which apparently is common for 12 - 18 month olds. There isn't a lot you can do to stop the problem besides saying "No hit" and well...ducking. Time outs aren't effective until age 2. They can't start to make the connection until then. He usually does it when he is sleepy or frustrated. I showed him how to kick a ball and he says "kick it" and he will hand us a book and order us to "read it". So he definitely has some understanding of verbs at this point!

We have a rolling cooler (like the size of one of those carry-on pieces of luggage) that we have brought to some of the neighborhood parties. Harrison had decided he likes to go for rides in it. So I pull him around the house in the cooler! Whatever makes him happy. It relaxes him. Maybe I can start getting him down for naps that way! Adam says I can't take him for walks around the neighborhood in the cooler because someone might call CPS but I am tempted just to see the looks I get! :)
