awwwwwwww!!!

My baby has been fitted for his first pair of proper shoes. I can' believe this time has come round so quickly:( We went to Clarks yesterday as his pram shoes were scuffed to bits now he is crawling and pulling himself almost up. He had his photo taken by the girl that served us, and managed to clear the bottom rack of a sale rail whilst we weren't looking!!! You have to have eyes in the back of your head with this one... which is something I'm not used to. Oliver was such a well behaved baby and toddler, quite happy to sit and play with cars. Harry on the other hand is in to EVERYTHING... and usually the things he shouldn't be into. Yesterday he climbed up at the Christmas tree barricade and pulled off the decorations he could reach, then bit one of the lights in half, before starting to crunch on the glass!!! I am so amazed that he didn't cut his mouth or get electrocuted as the lights were on at the time!!! Not only is he a little monkey, he's also a thief!!! This morning on the school run, he managed to swipe a pink hat from somewhere. I only noticed he had it when I got him out of his pushchair... so somewhere there is a poor little girl with a cold head!!!
These tales of stunt puppy Harry lead me to today's HSMS prompt of 'puddle'. One of Harry's favourite party tricks at the moment is to empty the dog's water bowl... he can get to it faster than the speed of light, and silently too. The first you know that he's there is when you hear the clink of the metal bowl, by which time it's too late!!! We are trying to teach Harry to leave the bowl alone, but if he carries on tipping it I'll have to get a large hamster bottle for Jaspa...LOL!!!
