Here are some of the the silly/adorable/sweet things that Harry (and Izzie) have been saying lately; the things that make my job so wonderful.
Pointing to a photo of himself: "Here's me. The one with the curly hair. You know him..." On the way to school one morning Harry, *sadly: "Elle, there's something that my teacher doesn't believe me on." Me: "What's that Harry?" She doesn't believe me that God is just an idea. I tried to tell her, but she thinks god is REAL!" Izzie, completely nonchalantly: "I think my fish is trying to kill himself..." as she slow nods her head a few times. Harry: "You're quite thin and bony." pause "Though, I love you just the way you are. Harry on our hike: "All explorers need a stick! Except Dora... because she always figured out the way. No need!" *shrug Harry, showing me his clay creation: "Look it's Lucy! Can we cook her?" (Lucy is his kindergarten crush. He made a miniature version of her out of clay.) Harry: "What type of ball do you use for baseball?" Me: 😑 Harry completely out of the blue: "I'm beginning to be a tall man!" Harry: "Top tip! Always use the black apple slicer. Brand, EFC! Stands for 'After a while, Crocodile, sharp as can be!'" Me: Whatttt? Harry: "Well, I don't know. ....What did I say again?" Izzie: "Harry, what year were you born?" Harry, without skipping a beat: "Year of the cow." Harry, as I'm reading him a goodnight story, grabs my arm and says: "Your arm is so thin!" Me: "Your's is thinner. Go to sleep!" 5 mintes later, he shakes his head and mumbles to himself, "Just so thin..." Harry, out of the blue: "I kind of like how no one rules the world. I really love that. The world just does what it wants." Both kids keep asking if their next nanny can be a "he-nanny." Harry says: "It's just that we've had she-nanny, she-nanny, she-nanny, she-nanny. We're ready for a he-nanny!"
