Yesterday our pal Maria and her friend Alex stopped by for a visit. Alex, being a friendly giant, reached out for a passing Finn & laid a few tickles on his tummy. Finn’s going through a rather shy period, so he didn’t know what to make of these advances. In the kitchen he remarked, “Dude… dude tickle!” He kind of froze up upon returning to the living room, unwilling to venture past Alex. The problem was solved when Alex and Maria agreed to hold their arms up (“Arms up up!”) and grant him safe passage. 🙂 [Click the image for a larger version showing the circumspect Finn.]
