The Return of Scar Head

-

This afternoon Finn went to Danny's to get his haircut. Before leaving I packed every "bribe" I could find in the bag - Veggie Tales snacks, Twizzlers, suckers, juice and an apple. Finn ate the apple in the car on the way.

Finn did really well! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Once we got him in the chair I handed him an enormous sucker. He didn't cry, but wanted me to stand close and hold his hand.




Now that his hair is really short again, you can see the scar from his surgery above both ears. I don't know if hair will ever grow over that scar.

Once we got in the car Finn asked to "eat somepin" so we split a 99 cent nacho supreme at the Taco Bell. It was the first time Finn and I have ever eaten out alone. We had a great time. Finn ate a few chips with cheese and beans and loved every minute of it. He was smiley and quiet and so sweet.

Next we went to the tire store to get my flat fixed. You'd of though Finn was in Santa's workshop. He was so excited to see all the tires. I'm sure he touched every one of them. While I was talking to the sales person I notice Finn playing with a tire but didn't notice that it was the old tire on my car. Finn was absolutely covered in black soot/dust from his hands to his elbows and of course the first he did was touch my khakis.

On our way back to the house Finn started talking about fireworks. I asked him where he saw fireworks and he responded "in the sky." Then he said "fireworks loud." Then he said "loud like Daddy's mower." Then he said "Daddy push mower." I asked him who has a riding mower and he said "Pa and Papa." Then we went on to describe how everyone in the Apedaile family has a lawmower; JT, Victoria, Lindsey, Sarah, Courtney and John. I was so tickled at Finn's train of thought. You can almost carry on a conversation with him now; that is as long as you are discussing topics that interest him.

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!
