More Finn'isms

A few more of Finn's funny sayings in the last two days:

Yesterday, Liam proclaimed (to Matt's horror) that his favorite candy was a peppermint candy cane. Finn replied that his favorite was a broccoli-cane. Then he laughed very loudly. A discussion of lemon-canes, chocolate canes, and mailbox-canes ensued.

Today, as we waited to see Santa (see the picture) the boys were bored, so I gave them pens to draw on the flyers. They both scribbled for several minutes, and then gave us their papers to hold. Matt looked at Finn's drawing and said, "That's a nice snowflake, Finn." Finn took the drawing back, reexamined it, and said, "No, it's a spiderweb." And really, it did look a lot more like a spider web.

Later, as we got them ready for naps, Finn asked me to take his socks off. Then he put one of his socks on his hand, said, "I'm a puppet!" Then he made the 'puppet's' mouth move, and said, "an alligator puppet!!" and chased us with it. So cute.

His spontaneity and creativity never cease to amaze us. The fact that he is the most stubborn boy on the planet mitigates our delight somewhat, but nonetheless, he's pretty fun these days.
