here of late, fin has started to call me mom instead of mommy. less and less often do i hear that extra "my". i know its a great thing that he is growing up, but does it have to be so painful? at least when max and keegan start to talk i can have a few more years of "mommy".
fin is growing up in so many ways these days. he was *very* jealous of the boys birthday. he was just rotten on their actual birthday, making poor choices all day long. finally after a good twenty minutes of trying to convince him to put a shirt on (as it was only 30 degrees out) in a moment of weakness i finally said to him "what is your problem today?" to which he responded, "well, mom, there are two problems with today. one, it is max and keegan's birthday and they get to choose everything all day. and two, i dont want to wear a shirt!" well, i guess i am glad i asked!
on the other hand, he has become a great helper with m&k and watches them like a hawk. mostly, its to protect his big boy toys - but often he will tell me when they up to other mischief as well. and the other great thing is that keegan is finally in his good graces again. for awhile there he was all about max and barely acknowledged keegan at all. lately he is enjoying keegan equally - ahh! i guess losing the "my" isnt so terrible after all.
