Harper is in birthday mode. We have been talking about it so that she understands it when the day comes. She now walks around singing "Happy Birthday!" and talking about her birthday party. Never did I think we would end up with a little 2 year old who was a Wizard of Oz fanatic and who, in particular, loved the Wicked Witch of the West! Of course, Lucy has to have her hands in the planning and the day after I made Harper's bday invites, sealed and addressed, Lucy announces that "she and Harper have had a talk about Harper's bday party." She went on to tell me that Harper wanted a fish or turtle birthday party. This would be fine, except now Harper is wanting a witch/ turtle birthday. Not sure how those two work together except for the fact that they are both green. I need to keep Lucy out of the planning, or at least keep her from giving Harper more ideas.
Lucy also has ideas about what to get Harper for her birthday. They all include things she herself would like. For instance, there are some small unicorn figurines at the variety store that Harper has been eyeing for a few months. Lucy went to pick out one for her the other day, but wanted to get the blue maned one. This is Lucy's favorite, not Harper's, who would like pink or purple. Lucy then adds, "I will love to play with Harper's blue unicorn, that's why we need to get that one." In the end, they are a buck so I got two, both are Harper's, but now maybe she will have one to share. We'll see.
Right now, we are focusing on getting Harper completely healthy. After a week of a mild rash that wasn't driving her crazy, but was starting to spread all over we decided to have it looked at. She was also vomiting late last week so a trip to the doc was in order. It turns out that she has strep. Bubblegum, pink antibiotics never hurt a 2 year old girl, so she is on the mend. Today when I gave her her first dose of medicine she said, "thanks momma, now I'm not sick anymore."
We went to the doctor and that means H got weighed. She now weighs a whopping 20.8 pounds. I think Graham is about 18. Slow and steady wins the race. He is gaining, slowly, but surely and it will be interesting to see in June when all three kids go to the doc at the same time to see who weighs the most- Graham or Harper. In the meantime we plug away at trying to get her to eat.
Harper loves playing in closets. I'm not sure why, except it is sort of hiding, sort of peek-a-boo, sort of something that she thinks that she's not suppose to do.
