things heard

After bath, before bedtime, enjoying some milk & watching Superman. :)

I've started to write down some of the cute/funny/creative things that Finn says. He continues to surprise us everyday with new words, sentences & thoughts. He's at such a great age & is working so hard to form his own sentences to communicate with us - I love it!

• Last Sunday morning as I was getting myself ready for church, Finn was trying really hard to put one of my hair clips in his hair. I offered to help & he told me, "No, I help my own."

• When I went to pick up Finn at my mom's house last week, he was running home with all of his cousins from the playground. I met him halfway there & he yelled, "I missed you Mama!" So sweet! Then as we walked by the soccer goal in the field that his cousins were playing on, he announced "It's soccer time!" He then got tangled up & stuck in the net, requiring assistance from Memaw. :)

• At bed time & nap time lately, when we leave the room he yells after us, "I love you, Mama! I love you, Dada!" This is a newer sentence for us & very heartbreaking for us when we know he's sad about going to bed. Most nights, we also hear "Don't leave!" & "Hold me!" Also, hard on the Mama & Dada. Otherwise, we love to hear him say "I love you!" It's the best!
  

• During bath time, I noticed he had a skinned knee. I asked him what happened & he told me, "A table...I take a owie...at Memaw's house." The next day, he told me he took the owie at Mummi's house, so I'm not really sure. But he consistently tells us that he "takes" owies instead of "getting" owies. :)

• I made homemade pizza for dinner one night & instead of the usual "tastes yucky" or "I don't like it" from Finn (he's rather picky these days) he told me, "Mmmm, good pizza...yummy pizza...I like pizza you make." Such a great compliment!

• On Friday morning when we got Finn up, we noticed that there was cotton fuzz all over his bed & floor + a pillow that was missing some stuffing. :) We asked Finn what happened...did he get mad? He said, "No, I sad. I crying." My next question was if he had bitten the pillow. His explanation: "No. It open. Fuzz came out." Likely story! :P

• That same day during his nap, Finn cried out "Mama, cake! Where cake go? Dada, cake!" He quieted down & went back to sleep. When he woke up, I asked him why he was crying, if he was sad. He said, "Cake falling." I asked if he'd had a dream that cake was falling & he said, "Yeah, your cake falling." So great that he was able to tell us his dream, even if it was a nightmare about cake falling. :)

• Yesterday, we were walking into a store & Finn saw a bald man. He said, "Wha dat guy? A Lex-a Luther?" Someone's been watching Superman lately. :) Luckily, the guy was pretty far away & didn't seem to hear. He might have gotten a kick out of being called Lex Luther, but we just laughed quietly to ourselves.
  

Ahh, the life of a two-year old. Never gets old. Always keeps us on our toes. What a great kid!
