Finn Funnies

So the little boy in the house has started really coming into his own. His use and grasp of language has really made the family interactions much more entertaining.

A few weeks ago, Liam discovered that he could no longer call Finn a baby. We were driving back from school and Liam informed Finn that he couldn't do something because he was "a baby". Finn immediately responded by telling Liam, "No. Liam a baby." Or really "Mee-am a baby." Liam takes a pause and says, "No, Finn, you're the baby." Finn fires back, "Mee-am a baby." Liam now gets a little mad and tells Finn that he's the big brother and that Finn, in fact, is the little brother. Response: "Mee-am a baby." Liam now quite upset calls from the back seat, "Dad! Finn's calling me a baby!" Finn appears quite satisfied with the result.

We were having a little park time last weekend where there are a few hanging bench swings, which can accomodate several little people or three adults comfortably. Liam and Finn were wanting to swing, but some older little girls were taking turns pushing each other and the boys were a little timid about interupting. Liam finally got on and sat on one side next to the armrest to hold on. Finn wanted to join, but the only spot was in the middle without any handles. I had been cajoled into pushing everybody, so I told Finn he needed to hold on to something. Finn takes a moment to assess the situation, then announces "Hold on to pants". He grabs the end of his shorts, confident in his newly acquired swing security.
