Even B&B can't help but sing Adele:)

Can't sit still~ Music Class!

Bailey's favorite video

Goodbye Winter!!

Thank goodness February is over! The Harmans were sick for almost the whole month: Bailey had 2 rounds of antibiotics for ear infections, high fevers for a week at a time, Brett had strep and acute bronchitis, Rob and I were both sick at one point…and oh yeah, I fell down the stairs carrying Brett, ‘busting up his face’ (as he says) and sending me to the immediate care for xrays. Thankfully just a cut on the lip for him and only bruising/sore back for me…But PHEW, now onto March!
We are finishing up this session for classes. In April, Bailey will be starting a dance class (she is SO excited!), they will continue their music class, Brett will be starting T-Ball AND pre-school. Mommy is not quite ready for all these changes. Brett’s actually been asking to go to school so apparently he is more ready than I.

Quotes/Stories

Bailey says ‘Thee End!...of my yogurt, By ME!’

Brett was taking a little time out for being rambunctious…I see him throw his arm (anger punch?! Mad gesture?!) ‘What was that?’ I asked. He said, ‘I took off my helmet’. He got in trouble for jumping off of furniture pretending to play football. So I guess I appreciate him metaphorically taking off his equipment to fully prepare for his consequences.

During another ‘football practice’, I told Brett to stop throwing in the house. He said, ‘I’m not Mom, I’m TOSSING!’

The evening news was on while we were getting ready for dinner. They were covering the latest Blackhawks game and what players got into a fight. Bailey says, ‘They have to be nice! Kids! Be Nice!!’

Once Brett finished his medicine for strep, he was SO hyperactive. I sent him to wrestling practice with Rob. Brett ran the entire practice and even had a little wrestling partner. Daddy beamed with pride for hours after.

The next day, Brett said the boys had the same wrestling bag as he did. “I was so, so impressed!’

Bailey told me, ‘Mom, I’m a RockStar!’.

Bailey said ‘Mommy?’ I responded ‘Yes, dear?’ She looked at me and said, ‘you can’t call me dear, you must call me Bailey!’

‘Oh you Stinker Binker!’

Bailey had a high fever, coughing and tears rolling down her face…she still insisted she needed to wear her pink tutu to the doctor.

Brett was feeling better and his cough was subsiding…but when he was getting into trouble and I knelt down to talk to him, his cough suddenly reappeared, making it impossible to have a conversation.

Shortly after this, I said ‘Brett you are making yourself cough’.
‘Ummmm, I’m not really sure what you are talking about?’

Bailey and I were at the mall, in Victoria’s Secret. Bailey, in her pink skirt and purse on her arm, was walking around the store yelling that she needed a pink bra! She also kept grabbing a hand full of ‘colorful’ thongs saying ‘OHHH these look nice!’

Bailey adores her Colin...she called herself Bailey Lynn Rubel (I don't even know how she figured out that's what you do), she also sings 'I love you Colin Rubel!'

After nap one day, Brett says ‘L-U-V Madonna!’ I asked him where he heard that before…he said, ‘you know, when the Patriots were taking a break’ (i.e. Madonna’s Superbowl Halftime show).

Both kids, when they think they are getting in trouble, say 'but Mommy you're SO BEAUTIFUL!'

Brett and Daddy have been wrestling quite a bit…one time Rob yelled out ‘Help me Mama!’ Brett looks at him and said, ‘You don’t need help, fight out of it!’

Bailey so causally walked by me and said ‘everyday I’m shuffling’

3 phrases are used quite frequently by the kids right now…’That’s a good idea’, ‘I’ve never seen that before’ and ‘(enter whatever they are doing or looking at) is the best in the whole wide world!’.

When I was putting Brett to bed after his wrestling practice, he said ‘Mom I was AMAZING at wrestling’

Waiting for Spring!

Wow, has it really been almost 2 years since I’ve updated the Harman blog?! Rob has been not so subtly dropping hints that I have neglected ...
