Easter

We had a fun Easter together.  I was so excited because Marc got a basketball and he has been asking for one for awhile.  Well my excitement was crushed when he wondered where the basket was to go with it.  Now he says he wants to go Grandma’s house because she has a basket.   Luke loved the eggs and other than that he didn’t care about anything else.  Marc ended up being sick most of the day, which wasn’t fun, so we really didn’t do any else.  Sunday didn’t go how I had planned and was crazy.  I wish it could have been calmer so I could have reflected upon the real reason we celebrate Easter.  My mom was so good at separating the commercialism from Holidays and helping us realize the real importance.  I hope I can do this as well as she did.  Anyway Happy Easter (or Happy Easter egg as Marc says)!
  

Preschool

Marc started preschool last week and loves it.  It is really low key at one of my friend’s house, but she does an awesome job.  Marc thinks he is just like dad and has to have a backpack.  He is leaning so much each day and is getting so big.

Baseball & Walking

What's new at our house? Marc loves baseball, basketball, soccer, football, and wearing basketball shorts. Luke is trying to walk and is so close. He will just let go of things and take off for a few steps. He should be walking soon, and watch out world he will be everywhere!

Marc David Harris

Marc is getting really good at his letters. He knows all the "Big" letters and is working on the "little" ones.

Easter Fun

We have had some Easter fun already. We have decorated eggs, been to a Easter play group, and also an Easter egg hunt. Marc loves anything to do with Easter, and it has been fun to see him so excited. Here are some pics.

Catch-up

Well not a lot is going on around the Harris home. We are so ready for Spring to come so we can go outside and play. Marc is currently in the potty-training process and is doing pretty well, considering we are two days into it! Luke is trying to walk, but mostly falls down more than he walks. He is getting close though, and pretty soon I will be chasing two little munchkins around.

Bubbles

Last night in the tub I heard Marc saying bubbles. I was worried because one time Marc wanted bubbles and emptied a whole bottle of bubble bath into the tub. I went in to check it out and there were no bubbles, so I asked where the bubbles were and he responded, "In my bum. Watch." He proceed to show me the bubbles. Matt and I were dying and he thought it was funny so he kept on doing it. I guess everyone will learn about bubbles in the bathtub sooner or later!

Marc continues to say some funny things. Today Matt went to the temple. While Marc and I were playing this was one of our conversations, "Mom, lets talk." "Ok Marc what do you want to talk about." "The temple." "Ok." "The temple is a house of God, and the temple is yummy." I don't know where he came up with that, but I guess it's true if he thinks so!

Yesterday I put him in his room for being mean to Luke and he said, "I will be patient mom." He knows what to say and tries to use it to get out of stuff. He calls me "Dear" whenever he wants something. He also has a way of tilting his head when he asks for stuff and it certainly works. It's hard to say no when he looks so cute and innocent. He is also so polite (when he wants to be). He thanks me for getting him food. He thanks me for changing his diaper. He thanks me for putting his coat on. And its not just thank you. It's "Thank you for putting my coat on me mommy." I don't know why he has picked up on this so well, but I'm not complaining and realize I need to do better at thanking others for the things they do for me.

Marc is also learning his letters. Today as we drove by Safeway I heard, "W... Mommy there was a W on that store." I can't keep up with him, he always wants to know what letter is on my shirt or in books. He is certainly growing up and we love him!
