We, and Harrison, had our first holiday this past weekend. For Harrison this meant a holiday away from us, with his Nana and Poppa (also his Aunty Em, Nicky and Bebe the dogs, and Bill the surly cat). For us this meant two days with no Harrison in the Bay of Islands.
It seems that we all coped well, Harrison ate, slept, played and generally did what he does well, apparently only showing minor signs of missing his mum and dad. We did good too, Mel spent relatively little time whimpering “where’s my baby” and by day two was fairly satisfied that her parents probably hadn’t accidentally killed Harrison. Although I did suggest the hilarious situation of them running around all the adoption agencies looking for a baby just like Harrison before we got back.
We bought cheese. It was good. Harrison sampled a number of flavours of ice cream over the duration of his vacation - Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Marshmellow Coconut Ice and Caramel. He seems to like all ice cream equally, also to a lesser extent he likes formula, baby food, paper, grass and dead bugs.
