The Toddler Kleptomaniac...


I'm starting to notice a problem when Harmon visits his MiMa's (this hasn't happened elsewhere)! Last time we were getting ready to leave and Lisa kept insisting "I think he has too much pee in his diaper b/c he is walking funny". I just assumed he was showing off to her but as we were leaving I noticed some cars in his hands and had to explain that he needed to leave them at MiMa's. Later as I was putting him in the car I felt his side. Lisa and I were shocked... he had not one, not two, not five, but nine tonka trucks/cars stuffed into his jeans (thus the funny walking). He tried it again this Sunday at church w/MiMa. It looks like I will have to pat my mini-criminal down before he leaves the presence of MiMa.

In other amazing Harmon news he showed us he could spell his name. Miriam randomly asked him "what is your name?" and he said: "Harmon, h-a-r-m-o-n". I didn't believe her so later in the evening I asked him Harmon can you spell your name? And he just rattled it off. I couldn't believe a 2 1/2 year old could do it! I'm amazed what he us learning in school. It proves "special needs" does NOT mean dumb!!!

  1. What a funny story! Harmon has so much personality and makes me laugh a lot. At least it only happens at his grandmother's, right?
