Presents for Mama

-



Today while I was upstairs writing a letter, Finn and Michael were outside getting a present for Mama. When they came back inside Michael called me to come downstairs telling me that Finn had something for me. As I was walking downstairs I heard Finn yelling for Mama. He looked so sweet holding a dandelion out for me. When I got to him he gave me the flower. It was so precious.


I am also happy to report that Finn loves green vegetables. He isn't crazy about broccoli, but he loves green peas, lima beans and green beans. Last night for dinner he ate half a can of lima beans and begged for more. Tonight he ate a ton of green beans. Then he finished the rest of my fish. I am so happy that he is branching out.


Finally, "timeout" is going really well. Even though he doesn't necessarily enjoy going to "timeout" he doesn't get up until I tell him he can. He tries his hardest to get me to smile. After I position him in his corner, I turn my back to him and ignore him. Of course he starts saying "mama" over and over, but I don't give. After one minute I will tell Finn that timeout is over and he can get up. He gets the biggest smile on his face, runs over to me and gives me a huge hug.

    Too sweet! I didn't know you were doing time out. I'm glad it's working well. Mom

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!
