"Awww" moments

[Lilac]

I just had to share a couple of wonderfully sweet Mommy/Harry Potter Fan moments:

My husband and I got our six-year-old up early this morning to get him fully into his Harry Potter costume for Halloween, letting our two-year-old sleep in so she would not be under foot.  In no time, he was all decked out similar to the movie outfit:  gray sweater, gray pants, white shirt, red/gold tie, black cape (closest thing we had to "robes"), etc.  He also had the round glasses, a stick for a wand, and we even used that hair spray paint to make his blond hair black.  He looked great!  He drew his own "scar", however, after I didn't do it "just right", and he actually did it better than I could have (although he's "practiced" a couple of times with a marker instead of my eye-liner pencil a couple of weeks ago, sans permission, of course, the little stinker...).

As we were finishing, my daughter woke up and came into the living room.  "Nin-nin!" (her way of saying "Christian!"), she exclaimed, calling her brother's name.  

We asked her, "Who is he supposed to be?"  

"Nin-nin."

"No, look again...who is Christian dressed like?"

"Nin-nin!"

We just laughed, knowing that she would get it eventually (this is the child that can say all the character's names, and loves to draw little scribbles representing each one).  The next moment, she went to give her big brother a hug.  She looked up to his face and said, "I love you, Harry Popper."      

Awwwww....

Also, Rachel plays this little game with us.  She'll point to someone and tell them, "You, Harry Popper."  Then she'll point to herself and say, "I Ron Weezy" (I know, sounds like Dobby...).  Then she'll have an "in character" conversation with that person..."Hi, Harry Popper.  Are you all right?".  The conversations are usually very short, because she usually assigns you a new character after she finds out how you are doing..."You, 'Mione.  Me Hagrid." etc, etc. 

 I know, another "Awwwww" moment.  Out of the mouths of babes...

"Professor, can you show me that blocking thing again?"

Lockhart cuffed Harry merrily on the shoulder.  "Just do what I did, Harry!"

"What, drop my wand?"
