Harry is safely ensconced at his aunt and uncle's house and having the time of his life. He is already having burping contests with his cousin Jake and will start playing the drums (probably very loudly) after school. We miss him terribly and can't wait to be back with him again. Then again, when we called him this morning he was already watching SpongeBob SquarePants, so he might not be too eager to come home... :-)
The day after Thanksgiving, I made him dinner consisting of leftover turkey, potatoes and steamed broccoli - his favorite vegetable, which he calls "trees." He devoured the broccoli, ate a bit of the potatoes, picked at his turkey and then asked for dessert. I was thus in the utterly surreal position of telling him that he could not eat only broccoli while leaving the turkey alone, after which he finished off the turkey while shooting me a couple of dirty looks. That's our boy!
With three days to go, all the paperwork is securely tucked in an accordion file, our flights are confirmed, and we have nothing more to do other than pack for ourselves - Xiao-Ling's suitcase is ready to go.
