November has morphed into Finley's Birthday Month and that thrills him (and me) to no end. Aunt Ellie and Uncle Donny gave him a cool remote controlled car -- despite some battery installation challenges -- the car was ready to roll in the kitchen.
Finley is getting the hang of the remote, but it will probably take a while longer until he can really get it to do what he wants :)
Another vehicle came into Finley's life, a three-wheeled scooter from GG and Grandpa!! Before we left for NY, Finley saw that I had packed his helmet and he said, "If you are taking my helmet, you better pack my bike, Mommy." So insightful. I explained that Grandpa had asked me to bring it for something special and Finley accepted that explanation without pause. Phew. As soon as GG brought it up from the basement, Finley asked to have his helmet strapped on and he waited patiently for Dan to connect the handlebars.
Then, it was time to take it for a spin!
He did alright his first time out, but by the following afternoon--he was an expert scooter driver! What a learning curve!! Thanks GG and Grandpa!!
On Friday, we piled into two cars to check out a playground GG found out about from another friend who is a grandparent. Finley had fun exploring (and GG did, too).
We played there for a while and then took our sports equipment to a nearby field. We tossed a football and a frisbee around and Finley impressed everyone with his skills. It was a bit windy, but we played out there for a while and I loved watching Finley run around and love every minute of it. I also loved watching Dan watch Finley, his boy--a sports fanatic!
Then, we went to Sal's pizza and despite the crowded nature of the restaurant and the long wait for the pizza--everyone had fun. Finley watched some pies being made, we all ate our fill of NY pizza, and Dagny had fun making eyes with her Grandpa and checking out his fingers.
