The Lions Sleeps Tonight



As some of you may know, Finn has recently become obsessed with lions. It all started with a really annoying movie called "Madagascar" that featured a lion named Alex. Ever since then, Finn will roar at complete strangers and refers to lions only as Alexes. I thought it would be fun to go ahead and get one of Finn's Halloween costumes early, a little lion outfit. Yes, one of his costumes. I get really into Halloween, ok? we just got it in today, and Finn has been in full king of the jungle mode, crawling on all fours and roaring at everything. He refuses to take it off. See cute picture of him sleeping in his costume below. It is too cute.

Finn and I went to see "Everyone's Hero" today at the free movie festival. I had told Finn it was about a dog, which I thought that it was, but it turned out to be about Babe Ruth. I think he ended up enjoying it, but the whole movie he kept asking "Where doggy, mama?". Oops.

Potty training has been going well- Finn is only one sticker away from earning his Woody toy. He does very well when motivated by bribes. I see politics in his future. he has even started potty training his plastic dog on a leash. When the dog "messes on the carpet" Finn will say "Bad Doggy", and spank him. I think he may have picked this up from my woes with Governor.
