The adventures of little boy Finn
Mama has a blog & sometimes we cross-post it here.

Mama has a blog & sometimes we cross-post it here. Our dog Violet is very tolerant. She really is the perfect dog (except that she’s quite flatulent).

Mama has a blog & sometimes we cross-post it here. It never fails: A child spills a big cup of something messy and sticky all over the place, and then, without missing a beat, looks up and asks for more of whatever it was.

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!

Finn, getting into car: “It’s cold, Mama. It’s cold as a hot dog!” Me: “A hot dog?” Finn: “No… no… it’s cold as a Popsicle!” Gabe: “It’s as cold as a witch’s boob in a brass brassiere.” Me: “Oh, Gabriel…” Finn: “Yup, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.”
