Finn v. Toy Car
While Finn continues to amass a very large collection of "incident reports" citing him as the culprit, today he was returned to us with a large vertical gash down his face and across his lip. Apparently he had fallen on a toy truck, though no incident report with the truck as the culprit seemed available.
Finn Diddy
All the other kids call Finn Diddy now which may derive from his hip stylin' in the clothes area. Needless to say, when he walking in morning time (like in Cheers) everyone shouts his name "Finn Diddy".
Peace
Finn has learned at school to say "peace" rather than goodbye. This means he sometimes now says goodbye in three ways (using all of them at once) "bye" (learned from his mom which goes with a nice wave), "peace" (learned at Daycare with a not quite correct peace sign in one hand) and "Ciao!" (learned from dad with two Eddie Izzard style pointing fingers). Most often to get the triple threat send off, you need to be a car driving by the house. "Bye car, peace car, ciao car."
Finn had beef stew and french toast for lunch
Begs the question, in the proper course of etiquette which course is served first. Or is it like chicken and waffles, one served on top of the other?
Finn has two incident reports today
An incident report is written up when something like an injury happens to a young one. Getting two in one day is NOT a good thing. While usually Finn is the instigator, this time one injury he performed was a self infliction.
Finn is the ringleader
Jenny had been hearing that Finn was considered the ringleader of the toddlers, but she did not want to hear it. One day she was there with her friend Bob who has a daughter in the same class. Jenny noticed that the room was fairly normal, and turned away to say to Bob that she did not understand why they called Finn the ringleader. She turned back around to see Finn had climbed up on the table and with one fist in the air was coralling the troops around him.
Finn pulled down a lady's pants
Apparently he went to hug/grab her legs and her pants came down in front of the whole room. We wonder if she was wearing hospital scrubs or maybe some of those J-Lo pants.
Finn knows sign language
One day we noticed Finn doing strange repetitive things with his hands. Turns out he knows sign language. We never would have been hip enough to teach him, but it is part of the daycare process. Apparently, before kids are able to talk they are able to sign and hence the useful things Finn has learned like more and I'm done ease tensions between adults and Finn's simply because we are successfully communicating.
