Into My Mind

I know I haven't written in awhile, but trust me if I had you would have thought I was the world's biggest bitch just because that's where my mood as been lately.

So, my last post was heart felt and sweet about my children growing up and here are some tales that aren't so heart felt and honestly just make you want to ring your child's neck...or fall down laughing. Probably fall down laughing. These are all Aiden stories for not much is happening in the life and an 8 and 5 year old, just the new actions of a 2 year old finding his path.

Story 1 - Learning to take one's pants off

Aiden loves baths. He loves them soooo much that in haste to jump in it has forced him to learn to disrobe. Well a small child learning to disrobe doesn't think about minor details such as shoes or dirty diapers. The mother then walks into the bathroom to find her son standing, pants down, shoes on, and dirty diaper plopped right down in the middle of it all. Thank goodness I caught him before he sat down.

Story 2 - Learning the joy of sweets

Aiden loves chocolate chip cookies and I mean he loves them. He loves them so much that he must gather them together and even though it takes multiple trips, he must make sure that each step leading upstairs has a cookie ready for his devouring. He did place them next to the wall though on the side of the stairs.

Story 3 - Learning to talk on the phone

Aiden inherited the gift of gab from his mother. If you are to call my phone, be prepared for a 10 minute (minimum) conversation with a little boy who's vocabulary revolves around: hi, hello, bye, love you, funny, no, and wait. Although he did say home the other night to J. While on the phone with Jason, I'm in the background and said "Aiden do you want daddy to come home?" So, Aiden says on the phone "Daddy, home." It was very cute. This gift of gab though is not so cute when he comes and tries to forcefully take the phone from you and then won't give it back. Again, while on the phone with his dad the following occurs:

Daddy: "Can I talk to Mommy now?"
Aiden: "No."
Mommy: "Aiden, can I talk to Daddy?"
Aiden: (index finger raised)"No, wait."
Daddy: "Aiden, how old are you?"
Aiden: "One."
Daddy: "No, Aiden's two. Can you say two?"
Aiden: "Why?"
Daddy: "Can I talk to Mommy now?"
Aiden: "No. (giggle) Funny."

Yes, it is great fun.
