they weren't goals we'd been working on, they weren't developmental milestones, but they were sweet.
gosh, were they sweet.
cute thing numero uno:
i was sitting in finn's room playing with him when my mom called. i forget what we were talking about, but it was something distracting enough that i only had half an eye on finn. sometimes he takes those opportunities to do cute things. (he gets a little shy about it when we're playing one on one.)
so i'm chit-chatting away with grandma, when i see finn go over to his animal puzzle and pick up one of the puppy dogs from out of the puzzle. he carried him over to the rocking chair and sat him up against the pillow just perfectly, along with his favorite doll (chuckanucka- he's an ugly doll) okay chuckanucka was upside down, but the dog was just perfect. and once he had them sitting together just right, he stood there and rocked those little suckers!

it was SO darn cute.
he didn't put a ball up there, or a block, or a binky. he put the puppy dog up there.
i was proud.
you go on and nurture those wooden dogs and ugly dolls, baby. you just go right on ahead.
cute thing numero dos:
this one is even nearer and dearer. but alas, i didn't get a picture.
wednesday afternoon i went in to get finn from his nap and almost fell over when i found him sitting up cross legged in the middle of the bed
reading
a
book.
spread out on his lap turning the pages.
he had apparently rescued a few picture books off of the chest next to his bed and pulled them in through the crib slats for a little bookworm time.
could i have been prouder? i think not.
an enthusiastic reader ranks almost as high as an enthusiastic sleeper in this house.
almost.
is he just the sweetest thing, or what? he may not be up to speed with all of those other toddler milestones just yet, but gosh if he doesn't rank off the charts in the sweet category.
i could eat him with a spoon.

Get me a spoon too. I've already told half a million people about his two little cute things. lol He is the sweetest, sweetest little boy ever.
His Grandma and Grandpa love him so much.
Awwww these moments are the best! He is so sweet and nurturing! Little moments like these make me so sad that they'll ever grow up and be big, but it's pretty neat to think how these precious character traits they have now will make them into pretty awesome big kids. :) (Oh and I literally LOL'd at the "enthusiastic reader/sleeper" line...AGREED.)
Yay! He's already a little reader. I couldn't BE more stoked about this development. I can't wait until he's old enough to start reading the Harry Potters. And then I'm gonna take him to Harry Potter world (he'll be my excuse to actually go myself). What an awesome kid! Now I'm totally gonna be that lame mom-friend that buys him books for his birthday.
