Today Finn:
*stared at me while I was talking to him, paused while I waited for his response (I could see him thinking very intensely), then very purposefully began moving his mouth as he cooed, trying to replicate my sounds
*said something that sounded very much like a slurred version of “I love you,” then grinned when I said, “I love you too, baby”
*laughed hysterically when I sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” (but not when I sang any others)
I love this kid. I love being able to stay home with all day! I do enjoy a good phone call during his naps, though. Yay for having friends to chat with!
I was going to write about how I annoyed I get when people make comments about my being “lucky” that I can stay home. But instead, I want to express my gratitude. I’m thankful for Jim, who works hard so that I can stay home with the little guy, who realizes and believes in the importance of staying home, and who happily sacrifices things that he wants and that we want so that I can stay home.
And he loves Finn so much!
Perrin has a favorite song, too! It is one he has heard me sing to his brother since before he was born. So cute!
