Finley and I were hanging out in the living room like we normally do and he was playing on the floor while I was trying to accomplish something on the computer. Whenever Finley becomes really quiet or plays by himself contently for more than 5 minutes you know one of two things is occurring... he's either pooping or he's gotten into something he thinks he shouldn't have. He must need concentration to poop (this makes me laugh) and when he gets something naughty he doesn't want you to know. Well, as I peeked to check what he was up to I saw something I have never seen- Finley playing independently with his toys! It's a miracle! Actually, he had dumped over one of the toy baskets and I am pretty sure he thought that this was naughty and was perfectly content taking each and every item out of it one by one and checking it out. By the time I got a video he was almost done emptying the basket but I got him kissing the pig. This just cracked me up. And yes, my living room looks like Toys'R'Us vomited all over it.
* After seeing the video of Finley and the pig Nate's theory was that Finley thought the pig was a sippy cup, the arms being the handles and the snout being the spout (not meaning to rhyme). That is probably what he was thinking. Too funny...

So funny how they do that. The independent play should hopefully get more and more extended. It has gotten to where I can sew in the same room for up to an hour with Ramsey and he is perfectly fine destryong the toy room. Some things get easier with age and some get harder. Such is life.
