Finn's Peeps

One of the strangest parts of leaving Amarillo was definitely leaving Finn's peeps.  I know that we can text and  talk to our friends.  Finn can't.  Although he misses his Amarillo peeps and talks about them, he is making some east coast buddies.  Here is a list of Finn's favorite Virginians up to this point:

"the front desk guy" at our apartment- this guy is probably the most genuinely nice guys we have ever encountered. I knew the first day we saw him that he was an athlete. I told Tosh "I think that guy is like a real soccer player."   Sure enough he is and Finn likes to have him kick the soccer ball.  Finn gets really shy and will not talk to the guy.  He only talks about the guy before or after we see him.

"the CVS lady"- the lady at CVS is really nice and really likes Finn. He likes her too. He laughs and giggles when we walk in the store.  She always says hi to him and usually hands him something to look at.  She will get down on his level and visit with him.  Yesterday when we went in the store she said "Hello my little friend, I love you so much."

Leila-  Leila is the only person that I actually know their real name.   She is 11.  She lives in our apartment and Finn adores her.  They met one evening down in the lobby. He instantly wanted to play "throw my coffee cup at you" with her.  She played with him.  Yesterday I saw Leila and her mother.  Her mother let Leila come with us and Finn held her hand the entire way up to our apartment.  The two of them played for a little bit.   Then we decided to go swimming.   Finn can't really say Leila (LEE LA)  so he says "Wee wee."  She will be leaving in two weeks and I hate it because I would love to keep her around.
