finnie is growing cognitively in leaps and bounds. so i want to jot down a few of the things josh and i found amazing over the weekend. he literally will go to sleep one night being confused by a phrase or not knowing how to express a need and wake up the next morning expressing away with ease. for anyone who doesn't have kids this may be hard to imagine and for anyone who does it might be boring but i can't help think that my kid is the most amazing little pickle on the face of this earth. so once again: kids do funny things to an otherwise emotionally in-control person. you get the urge to gush. a lot. about poop and talking. anyway:
-he knows where we are when we are driving. if we go down brodie lane he starts saying "dada work?" or on the end of my dad's street he knows that we're going to "papa, house? drums?". even in lubbock this weekend he knew after the first few times that we were pulling up to chris's house without telling him where we were.
-we got him a shape sorter and it's taken him about six days to become totally proficient at it. he also names the shapes with out prompting while he's sorting. for all the octogon, pentagon, hexagon like shapes it's "hex-gon?"
-he recognizes most of his letters (i think it's only j and v that he doesn't really know and he gets c and g confused and m and n) but he'll just walk around playing with a puzzle or something and say "a, apple?" "c, cookie?" over and over again.
-he chatter boxes like quaker parrot. repeating everything from "breakable" to "endorsed it" to "condo" and says what he wants too. like "finnie, fwimmun? pool?" and everything is a question and not a question at the same time.
so that's just somethings...it's been a long weekend full of six hour trips, funerals, real estate hunting, beer can chicken, coopers barbeque twice, food poisioning from bad italian food and in laws. and a good time was had by all. pretty rare right? like i said. i'm a lucky girl.
