Twizzlers

-




Finn's new favorite seat. The other night he watched an entire Thomas sitting in this stroller.








Today was a big day for Finn; his first time to stay with a babysitter. At 8:00 this morning Finn woke to find Monica in the house. She came to take care of Finn today while I worked for a few hours. I warned Monica that he would probably freak out when we left but luckily he made a liar out of me. When I got back home later that day Finn and Monica were watching Mickey Mouse and sitting together on the couch. When I told Finn that we were getting in the car (to take Monica home) he made sure that Monica was coming too. He talked about Monica the rest of the day. I know he had a fun time staying home with Monica today.






After we dropped Monica off Finn took a two hour nap. When he woke up we read books and cleaned the house. At one point Finn found a Twizzler in the cabinet. He would walk right up to me, show me the Twizzler and say "Finn's.






Later on in the evening Gran and Pa came over for a quick dinner. Pa was able to make a quick trip back into town so he stopped by to play with Finn. After they left Finn helped Daddy water the plants. He quickly learned that he could squirt us with the hose pipe. When we would get near to us he would spray the hose right at us. He ended up losing control of the pipe and squirted himself in the face. He panicked and couldn't seem to turn it away from his face - it was so funny. Finn was so upset.




Also, Finn took his diaper off in his crib for the first time this morning. Michael came downstairs telling me that Finn soaked his mattress. Great start to the day! Actually, he soaked his mattress pad, and his mattress was fine - so no harm, no foul. So tonight Finn is sleeping in shorts.

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!
