We all want our kids to just inherit our good qualities and habits, but undoubtedly some of the other ones will be absorbed as well. While Finley has surely gotten my goofy sense of humor and love of music, he also needs to have things "just so" akin to my anal retentive nature. His camp teacher, Paula, has remarked, "There's a right and wrong with him, huh?" The other half of his DNA, of course, is Dan's and Dan has been loving how much Finley is imitating his behavior lately.
Yardwork
But funniest of all: Icing his achilles. Dan mildly injured his achilles playing frisbee a few weeks back and Finley has been oddly fascinated by the nightly routine of Dan icing his leg with a bag of frozen peas (lima beans to be more specific). This morning before camp, he got down on the floor and put a plastic bag (full of wooden food pieces) and said, "Look, I'm using frozen peas for my achilles like Daddy!" I snapped this phone photo and sent it off to Dan.
Tonight, both boys iced their achilles in the playroom. Can you see how big Finley is smiling??
Strange, yes. Endearing, for sure.
And what is Ms. Dagny up to during all of this?
