The adventures of little boy Finn
Finn’s been making up jokes again: Finn: “Mama! Mama! I have to tell you one of my new jokes!” Mama: “Okay… ” Finn: “How did the house turn into a new house?” Me: “How?” Finn: “Because it moved its furniture! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

Mama has a blog & sometimes we cross-post it here. It was really hard for us to get up this morning. Snuggly Zippy wasn’t exactly helping, either.

I went to the dentist for the first time today, & I was a very good boy! The dentist said that my exam was better than perfect! So apparently my diet of sticky carbohydrates & refusing to let anyone help me brush my teeth is working nicely! Behold the promise of Finny’s teeth to come!

Finny is playing with his collection of little plastic “aminals.” “Sshhhhh!” he just commanded Mama in a loud whisper. “They’ve spotted a rare bird!”
