Finn Henry

AnnAngel Yo-Yo by doneastwest

I know there are things that could be happening with Finn far worse than him hopping out of bed thirty times before he goes to sleep.

But all the same I wish he would just go to sleep.

“The pattiller’s (caterpillar) not really good. The patiller’s boring.”

Finn’s assessment of one of his Baby Einstein DVDs.

Finn has been heard saying “Cheeses” a few times in the last couple of days.

He’s not talking about the fresh or matured product obtained by draining the whey (the moisture or serum) of milk after coagulation of casein, milk’s major protein.

We must start watching our language around the little darling.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. - Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), The Princess Bride.

“Mum dribe me to schildcar all the way in my car and my Dad pick me and dribe home all the way in my car”

There were 2 different cars involved, but that is what we did yesterday.

Some other new words are:
Pocoyops - Coco Pops, a new obsession since we had them at Bean’s farm
yeah a’course - yes of course, brand new affirmative response to just about everything
ocpus - octopus
Ola - Oliver, a Thomas character
shobel - shovel

I’ll have to think of some more and add them. I’m thinking a bit about Finn’s vocabulary at the moment because we have his early intervention program’s annual service review next Wednesday.

Just thought of another one. On the way to Healesville on Wednesday: “Mum & Daddy, I told you, stop talking. We’re dribing” We shut up - mostly through amazement.

Finn loves all of this trains but he has taken an instant and rampant devotion to his new engine Lady.

It’s very sweet really.

Finn loves going on the rides at the shops and especially likes the Thomas one at the plaza. He learned pretty quickly that they need money to work and now knows the routine well that you put the coin in and press the button to make it start,

The other day when we were on the train and stopped at a station he told us that the driver had to put in more money to make the train go again.

While we couldn’t help but laugh his logic was spot on.

Duck Face by MarkOMeara

“I hab a good bun at Biv’s party”

(I have a good fun at Viv’s party)

And he sure did.

Small Boy standing near door, trying to open it: Oh, oh, oh! My hand! My hand!
Mum: What happened?
Small Boy: My hand can’t open the door.
Mum: That’s because I locked it.
