I Pose for Pictures (Finnegan’s Diary)

When she isn’t writing, she colors and that is so much fun. I try to help her pick the right colors to use, but she says no and chooses another. Boo! If she keeps ignoring my choices, I will knock her hand cream over and walk behind the printer. That always gets her attention. She says no again, and then picks me up, hugs me and tells me she loves me. What she doesn’t realize is that’s all I wanted in the first place!

Sometimes I pose for pictures. What do you think of this one? Aren’t I handsome? It’s called my half-on, half-off pose.

I did have an embarrassing moment last week. Mommy was writing and I was having a very nice snooze in my window bed. It is so comfortable but I’m a big boy and when I changed position, I fell onto the desk! I didn’t hurt myself because it wasn’t a big fall, but even I heard the noise it made! Mommy looked startled and tried to console me, but I ignored her and jumped back into the bed and got comfortable. I wanted her to think I meant to do that! Sometimes I wish the bed was a little bigger, but mommy says this is the biggest one. Here’s one of my favorite positions.

We always take a break for lunch. After we eat, mommy plays with me. My favorite game is hide and seek in the tunnel. Sometimes I like to roll over in the tunnel and it puts the screen part on the bottom where I can see her, but she can’t see me! I’m a smart guy! When she finds me, I will run out of the tunnel and run through the house. I’m faster than her! We play until she’s tired out and I’m ready for another nap.

Even though we had a quiet week, it’s always nice in the evenings. Just me and mommy with the Christmas tree lights shining, and me on her lap while we watch a movie together. Yawn. I think it’s time for me to get up in my window bed and let mommy do her writing for a while. Until next Wednesday!
