More Harryisms, and a Meghanism

This morning, Harry came into our bed about 6am and snuggled up to me. At some point, I apparently did something he didn't like, because I woke up to him saying, "If you don't stop that right now, I'm going to be really mad at you. I'm going to say you are a girl, you are a girl and your name is not Harry Potter. Your name is Mama." I felt suitably chastened...

He's potty-training, and at school they have him say good-bye to whatever is in the toilet that he's flushing away... sometimes he says good-bye to the toilet paper. A few days ago he thought he had to go but couldn't, but he still wanted to flush. So he said, "Good-bye, nothing!"

One day I noticed that Harry's daily report from day care showed that he had eaten all of his lunch except the peas. I said, "Harry, why didn't you eat your peas today? You love peas!" He said, "Not at school."

Yesterday after I picked Harry up from day care, Harry was playing with Meghan, one of the kids in his class. They started to tip over the dish of food that the day care center leaves out for the birds. Meghan's mom said, "Okay, you know you're not supposed to do that, so it's time to go to the car. Move it!" Meghan picked up the dish of food and put it down about six inches away from where it had been, and said, "Okay, Mom, I moved it."
