visit with Santa

This year's visit with Santa didn't go as well as last year. I think Finn was freaked out by Santa's fake beard - last year's was real. Luckily Andrew is a quick thinker and plunked down on his knee near Santa and a surprise visit from a dog puppet ensured a successful photo.

I'm 17 Months Old

My new favourite words are:

Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
NO
Hat (see previous post)
Pea-Yeah - This is my polite response - a Finnism for Yes Please!
Tall
All dee (All done)
Tea (for ET and the hot drink Mummy has each morning)
Do (short for bread, flour, dough or anything that has to do with the bread maker as well as the first words to Doe a dear)
Hot (now also means lunch or dinner as well as stove)

And they called him bald...

We're getting Finn ready for his Hard Core Logo II audition.

Everything's Coming up Hats

Finn is now obsessed with things being hats. Today he wore his toque, Dad's toque and Mom's toque. He woke up and told me that Elmo was a hat (and demonstrated), the frog was a hat (and demonstrated), his sippy cup was a hat... Maybe I should just make a list. Things Finn wore as a hat today:

Clean diapers (fortunately not dirty ones)
a spoon
a slice of bread
several books
a truck
shoes
slippers
cat toys
wash cloths
mittens
pillows
a magazine
kleenex
a bowl of yogurt
his bib
a solitary bran flake
stacking blocks
a pair of pants (with help)
a tupperware bowl
bath boats
and most magnificent of all: the tupperware bowl with boats stacked on top!


Tomorrow: Fur trimmed bonnet a la Loco?
