a storm of words and contemplation

i looked at the post from june of last year when i talked about finny's first sentence. no one could BELIEVE the things that come out of his mouth these days. as we were leaving his school today he said goodbye to the gentleman sweeping the floor. i'll do this one in dialogue form:

Finny- "BYE!!"

Gentleman-"Well, goodbye there son."

Finny- "I'm going to my home."

Gentleman- "Oh, are you going to eat some dinner? What are going to have for dinner?"

Finny- "I'm going to have raisins."

Gentleman- "Really, raisins?"

Finny- "Yes. They're my favorite. Okay. BYE!! Have a good time! Sweepin the floor! BYE!!"

Gentleman- ( gentle laugh and a tilted head questioning look of 'how cute was that')

I'm going to attach a video camera to his head so noone, not nobody misses these things.

breaking silence again

i get so busy! that i can't write! but recently josh went out of town for a week and i did it all on my own here at the house. complete with dinner and to bed on time and baths and all that. so i have a new found independence and i'm not falling asleep on the couch every night right after i put finny to bed. and i'm cooking dinner all the nights this week. i have a list. and i'm not afraid to use it.

more to come.
