Way
back in January I put up a little post about what Finn and Harper’s interests (and disinterests) were. Seven months on I thought I would do the same. It was
interesting to jot down the two lists and compare them to the original post.
There are certainly some things that have remained the same but also some new
loves and loathes have emerged.
This
is Finn and Harper. Right now.

Reading,
playing charades as a family, drawing and writing words and letters, playing
board games, asking questions + finding out how things work, the colour red,
wearing t-shirts with stripes, riding on buses, gardening with Daddy, talking
to family members on the phone and fire trucks.
[DISLIKES]
People
touching his hair, brown rice (“but it’s
not white!”), people not following the rules, dirt/water or food on his
clothes and having his hair washed.

Playdates
with friends, cuddles, fairy tales (particularly taken with ‘Snow White and the
Seven Dwarves’), dancing, going to the Grower’s Markers with Daddy, playing
with Finn, baking with Mummy, breastfeeding, visiting Finn’s Playschool, holding tea
parties/imaginary picnics and having her hair brushed/washed.
[DISLIKES]
Sleeping,
packing up, eating mushrooms, wearing shoes + socks (not fussed on pants
either) and being interrupted while playing.

Huge
props to Lachie for helping me get these portraits. They both sat for all of
two and a half minutes but the encouragement, enticing and fun + games that
went into gaining that time was huge. Epic even.
Oh Amber these are so very cute! I love that Harper isn't fussed on wearing pants I have a 2 and 1/2 year old that is a bit the same ;) And I love that Finn already has likes in style - stripes are great if you can pull them off and I'm sure your little Man does!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! What big personalities they already have! ps I think Harper and Eva would be BFFs -- they have very similar likes and dislikes :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous shots Amber! and i love the lists!!! good idea to keep doing this... i think i did it with eli but not with lily, i should get on to that! they have such distinct personalities those two, i just love 'em!! ps feeling bad for not being able to resist touching finn's luscious locks... will try to refrain!
ReplyDeleteVery distinct personalities indeed!
DeleteI love touching them too but I know that it annoys him so I refrain :(
Love it! Milo would totally agree with Harper on not wearing pants and on how great breastfeeding is. LOL And Finn is so right- reading and wearing stripes are both awesome!
ReplyDeleteFun to get to know a little about them! Last year when I made photo books of the year for the grandparents for Christmas, I put a page of each kid and their likes and dislikes. I hadn't thought of putting it in this project, but that's a great idea, so I hope you don't mind if I copy.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI especially like reading Finn's list because it gives me a bit of insight into what Hannah might be dooing/thinking in the months to come. His list is so comprehensive - particularly the 'likes'!
