A boy, his dog and a fort

Fred has been attached to Finn since he was swimming around in my belly.  Every day they get closer.  It’s really cute, actually.

Finn has realized that he can move the sofa cushions (and pretty much every one of his toys that weigh a lot!).  He likes to jump on them and get underneath them, so I figured it was time to show him how much fun he could have with them!

Mommy’s little helper

Finn is growing by leaps and bounds!  He is always curious as to what I’m doing, whether in the kitchen or putting laundry in to wash.  Finn will grab a dish towel and make a back and forth motion on the floor, as to clean up a spill.  He will grab the Swiffer and push it around Nannie and Grandpa’s!  He loves to help fold laundry.  I’m telling you, it’s almost time to bring the step stool into the kitchen so he can help me!

Last night I thought I’d try a little experiment:  I told Finn it was time to go upstairs and take a bath.  He walked right over to the gate and waited for me to open it.  Once opened he walked right on through and with a little patience from me, Finn made his way up the stairs.  He proceeded to run around our bedroom and when I reminded him it was bath time, he walked straight into the bathroom!  I’m learning everyday that Finn is his own little person and I am amazed by how much of what I say he understands.
