Tis Better to Give than Receive

Today Finn spent the whole day with his Gran. Gran has been out of town visiting Pa and hasn't kept Finn for a couple of weeks. Finn was very happy to see his Gran. After giving Finn a hug, she gave him the presents that she brought back from Oklahoma; a stuffed horse, a "Thomas the Train" book and a pair of dinosaur pajamas. Next I packed Finn's bag for his big adventure to the country club. Finn spent the whole day playing with Joseph, Turner and Walker. You can read all about it Gran's post.

Tonight after Michael and I got home from work and Finn got back from the pool we all went to Target to pick out a birthday present for Micah.

Finn made sure to peruse the entire F16 aisle before making his selection. Only the best for Micah.
He also tested out some of the toys.

In the end we picked out soft alphabet blocks. We picked blocks because right now they are Finn's favorite.
When we got home I started preparing dinner while Michael mixed Finn's oatmeal. While we were working we heard Finn gag. We both turned around and saw that Finn was perfectly fine. A few seconds later we heard another gag, and another. Then we started hearing suckling noises followed immediately by gagging. We walked over to him and saw something awful - Finn was trying his hardest to suck his thumb. His mechanics were way off causing him to stick his thumb too far down his throat, thus triggering his gag reflex. Finn has never been a thumb sucker. During the early weeks we tried our best to get him to take either his thumb or a pacifier with absolutely no success whatsoever. I truly hope this was fluke.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
