Like Mother Like Son

Its official - Finn is just like me.  The other day while watching "Cars 2" I started noticing that Finn hums along with the score through most of the movie.  Anytime there is soundtrack music he will sing.  I do the same thing.  I really hope that Finn and I can enjoy soundtrack music together.

The last two days I have been home with both Finn and Sam.  Yesterday I had to take both boys out to the Kroger pharmacy.  We didn't get out of the car - we just went through the drive through.  Sam, of course, started screaming when prompted Finn to start yelling "STOP CRYING" at Sam.  All of this was happening while I was talking through the window to the pharmacist.  I finally asked Finn if he would sing Sam a song (I knew this wouldn't calm Sam, but wanted at least to stop one of the boys from yelling).  Finn, very sweetly, sang one stanza of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.  When Sam didn't stop crying Finn immediately stopped singing and said with his little lip out, "Sam doesn't like my song." He took it really personally.

Today, I got the boys out again.  We went to Babies-R-Us, Kroger, and the post office.  It isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be taking both boys out. When we got home Finn took a nap and Sam and I snuggled on the couch and listened to my book on tape.  When Finn got up we started talking about his full name.  I asked him what his full name was and he said "Griffin Thomas Begley."  Then I asked him what my full name was and he said, "Erin Thomas Begley."  I explained to him that my name is "Leah Erin Begley."  He furrowed those brows and said, "No - that's Nana's name."

Sam is still proving to be a good baby.  The only thing about Sam is that he is a lazy eater.  He falls asleep within minutes of starting to eat.  The only way that I can get him to stay awake though an entire feeding is if I pump and give him a bottle.

Before putting the boys to bed, we pulled Finn's old play yard.  Sam seems very happy laying flat on his back in the floor so I thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and pull out the play yard. Finn kept asking where his play yard was.  When he finally understand that he doesn't have one he asked to share Sam's.  So far Sam does not care for the play yard.

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!
