friday's musings...

things i am loving about this week...

  1. oliver jack pushing finley on his bike.
  2. oliver jack riding finley on the radio flyer trike with her arms wrapped around his middle.
  3. finley laughing all the way.
  4. watching finley, oliver jack, calvary, and harper play ring around the rosies.
  5. finley and harper's new haircuts.
  6. finley clasping her hands together and shrugging her shoulders and smiling with unspeakable glee anytime we mention anything she understands.
  7. sneaking peeks into harper's ballet class to watch her dance.
  8. the fact that oliver jack can still not reach the light switches...sigh...he's still a baby.
  9. hearing the kids sing veggie tales songs.
  10. finley standing against the time-out wall and fake crying.
  11. giving the kids "pocky" and hearing them say "i love pocky!".
  12. to contradict last week, all of the nice uninterrupted sleep i've been getting!
  13. harper asking me to hug her and lay beside her when i tuck her in at night.
  14. the moments this week where harper has willingly allowed me to correct her as we work through her homework...last year she would try to explain to me why her wrong answer was indeed right instead of looking for what could possibly be wrong.  she is so much more teachable this year.
  15. calvary wiping finley's nose with a tissue.  maybe not a big deal to most, but it literally brought tears to my eyes.  finley is the best therapy for calvary!
  16. finley "telling" secrets.
  17. harper, calvary, and oliver jack having pillow fights.
  18. the sound of their laughter = joy.

19. Finley calling and texting her aunt alli, who she otherwise will have nothing to do with! :0)

that should have definitely made the list! let her texts and phone calls be evidence to her love...she is just a little shy. i have a feeling (not so exciting at times) that we will all see much more gusto from little finley very, very soon.
