Judgy exhales

I strapped Finn on my back and we went strolling to the nearby grocery store. I "aim for shade" and smother him in inches of sunscreen, because I'm aware of the fact that Finn refuses to wear a hat. We are turning the corner (in shade) when my hairdresser confronts us. Bellowing a thick and oppressive cloud of smoke directly onto Finn's face, she wheezes, "Ooooooooo LINDO!!!!! Bebe needs a hat. WHERE IS HIS HAT?! You cannot do This"!

Sigh.

Teething rings in Lisbon

Finn's favorite toys are my thigh master, a stuffed giraffe & the dvd case for Richard Gears's "SHALL WE DANCE". 

...his recent attachment to the dvd case is so severe, we have brought it out publicly to avoid the screaming and tears.. At a nearby gelato shop, smiling Portuguese parents offered Finn their daughter's squeak toy. "Just take this, we have more at home". My rushed explanation only awarded our "unit" with more concerned stares.
