Potty Training

Wow! We have Made huge strides in the last week with potty training. It all started with me making a statement "only babies wear diapers." At which point Finnegan refused to wear a diaper even in public. With a few accidents he started to migrate away from using the potty to poo. We realized he needed privacy... The following picture was the solution that seems to be working... At least for now :) this is totally normal right?

Too much fun and not enough trains

Experiments With Derailing Trains

Yo ho ho

Snowy weekend up in Flagstaff. Finn love the concept of throwing snowballs at mommy and daddy, but smashes the beginnings of any bold snowman. We had a good time, though sleep deprived. We got to see old friends an shared warm Thai food while Finn showed off his knowledge of the Hubble spacecraft. The winning quote from the weekend was a little sea ditty espoused by Salty the train..."yo ho ho and a bucket of prawns. The tiller spins and the captain yawns." So funny to hear him sing this out of the blue!

Post Christmas fun

Once Upon a Train...

Literally our child said this. I'm not sure if you can get more obsessive than this:). This is a short iPhone entry so I will post a few pics fro our venture to Lowell Observatory to night. It was cold and I fortunately still had Finn's astronaut suit in the trunk! Bamm! Instant awesome!

Pumpkin Patch Train!

So Finn is now 2.5 and it's almost Halloween. We decided to drive to Williams make an event out of the pumpkin patch train. As usual the buildup was exhilarating but on the train Finnegan like if a deer in the headlights of an oncoming train. We had a blast and tooled around the quaint little town of Williams. Here are a few pics from the pumpkin patch!
