Finley has had some firsts lately as well. On August 28th Finley had his first day of Kid's Day Out for this year. He was so excited to start "school" again like his brother. He even posed for pictures. :) He came up with this first pose all on his own. He's pretty adorable if you ask me.
Showing off his back pack....
My big 3 year old walking in to school.... He was so excited to wear his backpack and he wanted to carry his lunch box as well.
This past Saturday Finley started First Touch Soccer. After 2 years of watching Avery play, he was ready and excited. Every time I would tell him he had soccer coming up, he would get a big grin on his face and say, "I get to play??!"
He had this huge smile on his face the whole time...
He is so cute to watch doing stretches. Whenever they tell him to touch his toes, he just squats down to touch his toes. :)
Finley loved kicking the ball. We were amazed at how good he did. We just kept looking at each other, surprised. He's usually pretty slow. We always say he's a day late and a dollar short because he's always trying to keep up with Avery and can't quite make it. But he was so good! He dribbled that ball all over the field and seemed to love every minute of it. He followed directions really well and listened to what the coach was saying. He just needed to have his time to shine and not be in bubba's shadow.
AJ & I have been talking a lot lately about how time has absolutely flown by. Our sweet baby Finley is just growing up so fast and really coming into his own. He seems like such a big boy these days. His old bedroom is now empty, waiting to get fixed up for the new baby. Whenever we go in there, we just feel sad. There are so many great memories in there from Finley being a baby. We remember how sweet he was standing in his crib with his arms up, ready to be picked up. We remember standing over that crib so many times, rocking a sleepy boy back and forth. I know that the room will soon hold new memories with a new baby boy...but I will always treasure the memories we made in that room with our Finley boy.

First of all, he is SO handsome and you have him dressed so cute (as always). I love his pose! The soccer makes he so excited to put Noah in soccer next summer! It's sad to see the phases just fly by, but the ones yet to come are wonderful to anticipate!
