Our little Finner-magoo turns 3 !!!

Happy Birthday Finnegan Jack!


Random things we love about our little 3 year old....

He has always been very verbal (he's a bit of a talker, like his parents) Like many other toddlers, he has a lisp and can't quite say his "R's" and "L's" and then randomly uses his very own made-up pronunciation for a slew of words. Here are some of my favorites:
Cereal = "ser-i co"
Adult = "buh-dult"
Vacation = "pay-cation" ....oh I wish.
Selah = "See-wah"
Guitar = "puh-taw"


Funny Finn Phrases:

"What does that sound look like?"....so philosophical don't you think?
"I don't want to do it, Daddy doos it."
"I don't want to put it on, I want to put it off!" ....when getting dressed.
"Is that movie for buh-dults or for kids?"
"It gots eyes?".... he's fascinated with eyes. I think it scares him when he can't see the eyes.
"Fowards, backwards and sidewards.
"shallow-end and deepness."
"I just waked up!"
"All together as a family" .....he says this when we hug. So sweet.

When he has to apologize to me after getting into trouble, it sometimes goes like this:
(Finn) I'm sorry mama
(Mom) I forgive you Finn
(Finn) I forgive you too mama.....(sometimes this is warranted I guess.)

Finn loves:
reading....he has a few books memorized. There's no skipping pages to hurry it up. he knows.
trucks of all kinds...particularly bucket trucks, cement mixers, garbage trucks and back hoes.
playing Father Finn...see previous post.
singing and playing the piano and drums....he has unusually good rhythm for a 3 yr old I think.
making Selah laugh......he's finally a bit interested in her now that she can give back a little.
pretending to be the gardener, using the leaf blower around the yard.
water tables.....but he will NOT get near the water at the beach, or even the wet sand really.
helping mommy in the kitchen
swings


His birthday was on the 9th and we had a fun little birthday at the park with friends. It was a beautiful day for lawn games, pinatas and just playing outside.






Finn picked out this pinata for his party and filled it with goodies.


Friend from church, Anna was a huge help with Selah.


A hot item inside the pinata were these paratroopers.


birthday pajamas from Granny Peg!


Finn and some of his girl friends at the beach a week before the party. Of the 8 kids invited to his birthday, 7 were girls. We don't really know very many little boys around here I guess! And at this age, the girls don't have cooties yet. Not till their 5 or 6, right?




We love you Finn!
