Bye Dad

Finn breaking into the fridge.

It is becoming ever so clear to me that Michael is without a shadow of doubt Finn's preferred parent. Every Wednesday night Michael leaves the house to go play basketball. Tonight was no exception. Right about the time I got ready to give Finn a bath Michael started getting ready to leave. As I walked up the stairs with Finn Michael said "bye-bye" to Finn. Finn immediately started yelling "DAD, BYE" over and over the entire way up the stairs and into the bathroom. When we got to the bathroom I closed the door and set Finn in the floor. He immediately went into hysterics, crawled as quickly as he could to the door and started slapping his little hands on the door all the while crying and yelling "DAD, BYE." I grabbed him and we went to the front door to waive bye to Dad. Finn loves to watch the car drive off. He will put his little hand up in the air and say "bye." Once the car has driven out of sight he will start yelling "bye." Once he was satisfied that Michael was gone Finn was quite content to take his bath. I am thrilled that Finn loves his Dad so much, but I piece of me wishes that Finn would go into complete hysterics when I leave him at home alone with his Dad.

In other news I picked Finn up from Victoria's house at around 1:00. I learned that Finn and JT a.k.a Lewis and Clark had forged a new path from the living room to kitchen between two pieces of furniture. They have also taken a liking to sharing each other's sippy cup. FYI we are now down to one 4 oz. bottle per day. We have exactly 10 days to wean him off completely.

After we got home Finn and I considered going outside for a walk. Unfortunately just looking at my tennis shoes made me tired so instead we laid down in my bed and took a nap. I took MJ's advise and made him lay down next to me and after five minutes he was sound asleep.

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!
