The new Garage
These get parked 'outside' my printer here, and in the 'garage' by closing up the tray that catches the papers when they come out, and messing up all my print jobs. D-OH!
A Bug's Life
This is Finn and his new fascination with bugs. He's been into them for a while now, but here you can hear him saying 'Bumblebee'.
For the record, any old bug is a bumblebee, especially ladybugs. I think the whole idea of a bug being a bee, and starting with a B (phoenetically) got him mixed up. He used to say bee when he saw pictures of flowers, too. It's amazing how he associates things.
He says everything from, 'where'd bumblebee go', 'tiny bumblebee, cute baby bumblebee', 'did you see my bumblebee mommy', to 'I don't know where Bumblebee is'. It's nuts how fast his language is moving, and it's hilarious how focused he gets on a few things at a time-- I'd say he's a little obsessive!
The only bug that is NOT a Bumblebee, is an ant. Ant is a character on a show we watch called Word World, where there are also characters called Bug and Bee, ironically. When Finn sees an ant, he screams 'ANT ANT ANT' and jumps and dances around. It's a riot.
The other day one of them was on the front porch and it went from the top to walking on the side (defying gravity), and Finn went CRAZY!!! He yelled 'DAD! DAD! The ant fall down!! DAD! ANT! DAD!". It was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing. He was SO impressed with that Ant for walking on walls. As he should have been. He;s such an awesome kid.

Ribbit, Meow, Bumblebee
Finn has entered an animal phase. I LOVE it. Here he is acting like a frog, yelling RIBBIT! with each hop, and MEOW as he stealthily crawls around like a kitty. And just to note, kitty seems to ALWAYS be followed kitty. And I don't know why.
You also get a bit more 'bumblebee' action in this one.
Captain Kitty (Captain Kangaroo is SOOOO old school)
One word: MEOW.
This isn't a good shot because I'm filming myself while being mauled by a kitty-- but he walks around on all fours purring and mewing and then rubs up against your legs and climbs up on to your lap to rub your face like a kitty cat. It's so cute!
I just LOVE this animal phase he is in!
The kitty is the main show these days, but he's also a frog, and a rabbit, and a dog. The dog Hoooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwlllllllllllls and licks your hands and face whether you want him to or not. It's funny, but a little weird.

Danging Queen, I mean King
Finn learned how to turn on my IPOD while on the docking station, and also how to change the song. He will change the song until one with a good beat comes on, stand in the corned and dance his little heart out!
It's the CUTEST! He will dance with you for a little while, but gets camera shy, so this is the best I could capture. It's just delightfully adorable to watch him dance, and it kills me that he can work my IPOD already. By the time he's 8, I expect him to fixing my computer!
It's so awesomely fun to dance with him, we're going to have Curry family dance party nights (when Tom gets home at a reasonable hour) and dance dance dance until we're all exhausted!!! It should be so fun! I already made a playlist so he wont' have to keep changing to song.

This is a short clip of Finn acting like a puppy. Of course, I couldn't get him barking or wagging his 'tail', but this will have to do!
I'm also hoping for some video of him acting like a monkey soon, which is QUITE the riot, I assure you.

Today's news
1. When I turned on Blue Planet for Finn, he looked at me and said, "Oh wow, Mom. A whale."
2. When I got my haircut today (something I don't often attempt with him in tow) he put his firetruck in the chair next to me, and gave it a 'haircut'. Then he told me it looked pretty.
3. While preparing for my class tonight, he took one of my babies, and walked around rocking it, saying, "baby cry, mom. baby sad." Then he asked me to sing to the baby, which I did. Then he sang to the baby, and put it 'na-night', and told me 'baby sleep'.
Yesterday, he took three of my babies and layed them all out head to foot on a body pillow, and went down the line snuggling with them, tucking them in, and kissing them until they were all na-night. Too cute.
4. As I vacuumed and swept today, he ran and found the mini-broom my mom found in the garage and gave to him last week (new fave toy, btw), and 'helped' me clean the floors. Then, when I was vacuuming stairs with the hose, he took the stick part of the vaccum, and went downstairs to vacuum his toys.

HE GETS CUTER EVERY MOMENT, I'M NOT SURE I CAN STAND ANYMORE!!!! LOL

Daddy Tricks
Finn often picks something up, as if to drink it, and says 'Mmm, it's good!'.
Today, Tom taught him to say, "Mmm, it's good Whiskey!'.
At the grocery store.
Heaven help me.

More fun around the house
Finn is sillier and more skilled than ever. Here are some thing I found photoworthy.
These days Finn's language is blowing up as well as his creativity. He calls everything that goes either a bike or a racecar, calls to people by name, and has gotten very adept at finding and crawling into small spaces.
He repeats what you say, acts like a dog (including licking your face), and tells my dogs to 'be quiet' when they bark, and to 'sit down' when he wants to hug them. As I type this he has crawled under my desk and licked all of my toes. That's new, and I don't know why, but he thinks it's hilarious, and admittedly, so do I.
We've taken to putting tape over any small crevice in the house, because if they fit, there are matchbox cars (sorry, racecars) in there. This includes our speakers, file cabinets, computers, fireplace, and more. He's a creative kid, and he really likes to hide those cars.
Well, I'm lost on details to share for now, so enjoy these and I'll post again when things calm down around here.
