shiners and smarty pants

Finn's ornery grin... ;)

See Finn's faint shiner on his right eye??

Finn gave himself his first shiner last night. The silly kid was spinning in circles until he fell down laughing. One of those times he fell right into the coffee table. He cried for a minute, got down, and spun around some more. All of this after he got his first bloody nose last week... he climbed up on my bed and fell off. This one seems to be a little more accident prone than (but just as tough as) Cullen!

Finn-Finn is talking a lot now, today he said "plane" for the first time today. Most of his words revolve around food.. the first thing he says to me every morning is "eat". He asks for "cream" (whipped cream) after every meal, even breakfast. Earlier today, I caught him helping himself to cookies out of pantry. I've tried to put them up higher in the pantry, but then he just climbed up the shelves to get to them! What can I say, the kid hollow-legged-boy likes to eat!

In other Finn news... he's trying his hardest to pee in the toilet like brother. And yesterday he did for the first time! Hopefully potty training will be easy for him too. He's also gotten his diaper off a few times and peed on the floor, laughing all the while. What a stinker our Finn is.



Cullen's Bob Books

I finally found the Bob Books I bought for Cullen some time ago. We started with book #1 on Sunday night and he did amazing! He loved it and was so proud of himself. Monday night we read book #1 and #2, and last night we added #3. In fact, last night he read book #1 with no help or mistakes at all. We'll be through all 12 of these level one (kindergarten) sight word books in no time. His brain is such a sponge, I love helping and watching him learn! The greatest part is the proud look of accomplishment when he's done it all by himself.
