The boy like the summer

Yesterday Amanda and Fin visited Auntie Leela, with Auntie Kiran, and the boy did his usual cute tricks. Mandy said there was a five minute period between when they arrived (and Fin was dressed in a cute button up top), and when he was drenched with water from the newly emptied bird bath, and subsequently naked. We now have a boy in our lives. He hits things with sticks, he loves playing with mud and sand, and expresses sheer delight when he makes a mess.

Yesterday morning it was lovely and warm, so we busted out the inflatable pool. While I was filling it Fin sat next to it, splashing the growing puddle of water on to himself (shrieking with laughter as he wet his clothes). If I splashed him with the hose he would burst out laughing.

He has become so playful lately, and he spent the weekend laughing so much, playing silly games, and generally being gas. Highlights included playing peek-a-boo with the bedside lamp (who thought a lamp could hide behind a book your dad was holding?), and attacking Mandy for ages, with big slobbery kisses while laughing till he coughed.
