King of the Road

 Today, Finn got a Washington, DC wallet to keep his money in as well as his "metro card."  He loves my keys so I went out on a mission to find a place to buy a key.  The lady at the front desk of our apartment was kind enough to help me track down a locksmith within walking distance.  The lady at the locksmith place  was nice enough to give Finn two keys free of charge.   Here he is showing off his new goods...

Today we used some blocks and books to build what I thought was a bridge... 


 Remember this picture Finn took of the taxi car wash down the street?


 I was blown away to realize what he was actually doing...


Finn was playing taxi car wash...


This made me so happy.   I don't want him to grow up lacking the ability to pretend and imagine.  There is something to be learned from playing with sticks and rocks.  It makes me so happy to see that he can turn books and blocks into something he has seen outside...


Here is a portion of his postcard collection...



When we first got here, we found this and thought it was perfect for Finn.  He really enjoys it.   One day he pressed on the Gateway Arch and said "Bee Ach." We will have to work on that one =)

      


It is just a guess, but I am pretty sure if Tosh could have made a wish about what kind of child he would have had, he would have wished for a good traveler. 

I am happy to report he got it.
