mid april

April 11 - Finn riding his new bike...hasn't touched it hardly since then when he fell off and got scared from the fall (didn't actually get hurt). He will sit on the ground with it and turn the tires like he's driving a car, but won't get on it anymore. We'll give him a few weeks and then see if he'll try it again.


April 13 - Finn gets a couple pieces of fruit snacks when he pees in the potty. Well, he came to me and told me that Fireman (a little toy that he has) had peed in the potty and should get treats. So, we gave him one. Finley actually tried to feed it to him and said "Yay, pee in the potty", but when Fireman didn't eat it, Finn said "nope" and ate it for him. He tried this again the next day, but I decided not to encourage that 'game'. It was a pretty creative way of getting more treats though!


April 14 - Piper 'sunning' again.


April 18 - Piper's first tractor ride. It seems like he's not thrilled and maybe trying to tell me something with that expression.


This was about the third time around. Each time they went around the circle and came up to me, he would stare me down as if to say "get me off of here!". He didn't cry though, so I figure he'll be another Finn wanting tractor rides every day!


This is one of my favorite pictures of the boys. Finley likes to hold Piper, but when he's done...HE'S DONE and you'd better be ready to catch Piper. Finley will say "Mommy hose Poo-Poo" (Mommy hold Piper) and will push him away.
