Hold Your Horses
Finn has proven to be a bit impatient. Since he is two (and a half last weekend) I am not surprised. During one of Finn's impatient spells, without thinking, I asked Finn to "hold your horses." Very defiantly and with a bit of perplexity in his tone he responded, "I will not hold my horses!" Then he started looking around for horses. It's so funny to see your children respond to phrases they cannot understand. I explained to Finn that "hold your horses" means to wait. Later in the day, in response to getting in trouble, Finn said, "I will hold my horses mom." Keep in mind he was in no way in trouble for being impatient.
Actually, Finn is starting to say things that he thinks we want to hear; or maybe he says things he either assumes or hopes will get him out of trouble. Now when Michael puts Finn in timeout Finn will say "yes sir" over and over again.
Friday was a great day. The boys and I met Michael at Danny's for a haircut. Michael went first and then Finn got a haircut. He has come leaps and bounds since his first haircut. He sits in the chair all by himself and follows direction, i.e. "Finn look down." "Finn, don't look down so far," etc. Danny also used the clippers on Finn this time and Finn didn't cry, scream, or look the slightest bit nervous.
After the haircut we went to Firehouse for some subs. Finn ate some Cheetos and a brownie. After lunch was over we decided to sit outside on the patio at Firehouse and enjoy the nice day. Before we went outside Michael took Finn to the bathroom to wash the cheese off of his hands. When they got back from the bathroom Finn was pretty wet - as it turns out he had gotten soap in his eyes and Michael had to flush it out.
After we got home the three of us took a two (2) hour nap.
