Manic Monday

Here are the stats for this week so far:

Number of wounds Finn has: 3

Number of objects extracted from the toilet: 4

Number of times Finn spent in time out: approx 6

Let me start by saying even when Finn is "naughty," he is still really good. He is always happy and even being "bad" I find him very charming =). It is hard sometimes to not laugh at him and encourage him when he is being a toot. Here is how yesterday went.

Tosh leaves for work. Finn stands on porch and says bye and waves until he is out of the driveway. Then he comes in the house shuts the door turns around and gives me this look like "You are in my world now woman." I could tell it was going to be a day. Haha!

If I didn't know better I would have thought someone snuck him a Fanta Red. He was acting a little bit rowdy. He proceeds to run into the bathroom and do this...

This got him a time out. I put him in his pack and play and went off to figure out how to get this taken care of. I had received a gift last week of essential oils. I had to buy some gloves in order to use these. So gloves to the rescue. I got that mess cleaned up. Then since the gloves were out I thought it would be the perfect time to try one of the oils that is supposed to be calming. I rubbed on a little "love" and it must have worked because I was very calm as I extracted items from the toilet all day. =)

Our next adventure was dumping an entire box of crackers on the ground. I could hardly get them swept up faster than he was trying to shove them in his mouth.

Later in the afternoon, Finn put my book light in the toilet. Now if you are thinking why don't I just shut the door? Well, this is all done in the time it takes me to use the bathroom and wash my hands. After I got the book light taken care of, things began to calm down. I failed to notice the plastic he snuck into the toilet. Tosh spotted that when he got home. The other item occurred over the weekend when he put his snack cup in the toilet. Eeeeks.

He has a bruise on his face and a busted lip that from our best guess came from falling into the bar stool. When it happened he just got up and carried on, so we didn't notice the injuries till later. The other wound is a beat up knee. He was running around in the driveway of his cousin's house and fell...twice.

Yesterday Finn was back to "normal." We had a lot of fun dropping things in a bucket instead of the toilet. Gotta go so I can see what adventures today brings =)
