Finn's hands

Finn wore jeans for the first time today.








Bouncing: AKA the only thing that distracts Finn from eating

Super sleepy


Finn is quickly learning how to use his hands. He is constantly moving them. He touches everything he sees. When I am feeding him he sticks his fingers in my eyes, my nose, and my mouth. He gets a big kick out of shoving his fingers in my mouth. When I remove them he will start swinging his arms back and forth - which kind of hurts when those little arms hit your face. When I put him in his gym he reaches to play with his toys and he also reaches and tugs on my shirt and hair. He is developing so fast.

Today was a terrible day at work - I cried all the way home. I was so happy to see and hold Finn. Finn was at John and Victoria's today and I thought I had pulled myself together before walking in the door. But, alas I was wrong - the minute I held him I started to cry. When we got home the three of us played and then we read Gossie and Gertie. Finn looked at the pictures for a little bit when we first started, but after a few pages he stopped looking at the book and only looked at me. Finn was pretty tired to tonight and he was sleeping hard by 8:00. I held him until 8:45 and then I put him to bed. I am exhausted so I am about to go to bed too.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl tights to wear under his costume

High Ankle Sprain

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.

Spirit Week Day 4 - Board Game day

Day 4 of Spirit Week was really difficult.  The kids were to dress as their favorite board game.  Hurdle #1: Finn doesn't play board games.  Hurdle # 2:  How in the world do you dress up like a board game?  This was one difficult.  Since Finn doesn't play board games I had to think back to when I was child and go from there.  I finally came to "Checkers" - so I spent the night before cutting out red and black paper circles.  It actually ended up looking more like "Connect Four" but Finn hasn't ever heard of "Connect Four" we stuck with "Checkers." Gran picked Finn up from school again today and took him to the library.  Before going to the library they stopped at the house to pick up his library books.  Finn only had two (2) of his checkers still stuck to his shirt.  I found out today that Finn got a bloody nose after getting pegged in the face with a ball and that he didn't get a star today because he didn't follow dir
