I am very late in posting for Finn's birthday as he was very sick during his birthday week and now I have come down with it too. I have been torn between wanting to get this post up in a timely manner and wanting to make sure I do it justice because there is so much to say in celebration of Finn's completion of his third year.
Finn amazes me daily. He is growing and developing so quickly that I can barely keep up. I wish for a photographic memory to keep all of his daily wonders fresh in my mind. He is such a fun-loving kid and embraces life to its fullest everyday. His boundless energy simultaneously inspires and exhausts me :) He is becoming increasingly independent and often tells me he can do it "all by myself." He has also really become a huge help in our daily tasks. He is experimenting with comedy, often prefering slapstick and potty humor, yet I can't help but laugh. He is very busy with his toys and I love watching how he can build and interact with everything to play out elaborate scenarious with cars and trucks and airplanes and blocks and boats and fish. He continues to challenge himself physically indoors and out, intent on risking life and limb at times, but always surprising me in his abilities. We also do a lot of reading and he is choosing longer books with interesting story lines and he likes to have us spell out words. He is playful and generous with his little sister. He will sing her songs in the car or try to soothe her when she is upset and he often tries to share his toys with her. He is incredibly sweet and caring. It is such a gift to watch him grow. I love you, Finnbar. Happy, Happy 3rd Birthday!
