as a parent we get to post gross stuff and most mothers don't mind, we shrug things off because over time we just aren't bothered any more by the bodily fluids and other lil things that come with the job.
so yesterday aiden had, had, apple juice, 2 fruit smoothies.. 2 handfuls of grapes, cereal with strawberries.. and had not poo'd all day..
by the time we put him to bed we were waiting for the crap storm to come during the night. i checked on him at 10:30, sure enough.. the boy NEEDED to be changed.. i changed him half asleep, and put him back to bed.
at 6:30 on his changing mat im getting him dressed for the day, fresh nappy is on, he looks at me and says..
'mommy, there is crap in my bum!' 2 seconds ago i just fascined his diaper.. 'Ok, i'll check'
laughing i say 'No, honey there is no crap in your bum'
he looks are me all serious, and slightly angry.. Slaps his changing mat and says
'It's Not Funny!'
'no, its not, im sorry...'

but at 6:30..it was hilarious

tuesday and wednesday this week.

tuesday we were having chocolate filled oreo's aiden was dunking them in milk and making a good mess.. he had one pretty much gone and pretty soggy and had decided he didnt want it anymore and tried to hand it to me and it dropped on my leg instead.. and needles to say it looked pretty gross.. this is what he said

"ohh im sorry i got poopy on your shorts mommy" .... crude but had me secretly rolling with laughter

yesterday was my birthday, robin took the day off so i could have the day to do what i wanted.. at 5am aiden got up.. robin got up with him.. and they baked me a cake.. by 8 am aiden couldnt hold it in anymore so they came upstairs, and sang me 'happy birthday', then aiden said the biggest sentence i think i have ever heard him string together.
"Ok! lets take the cake downstairs, put it on the table, and eat it!"
who knew all you needed was birthday cake?
then at nap time he just wouldnt go to sleep.. he said

"i want to go down stairs and have a happy birthday with mommy" im pretty sure this meant cake :)

while doing our trace the letters boards yesterday Aiden was correcting me
(me) That's Brilliant Aiden!
No Mommy, its Fantastic!

a little later
(me) that's wonderful Aiden!
No Mommy, it's Beautiful!

again a little later..
(me) Aiden that is very nice..
No Mommy, it's Beautiful!

i guess he doesnt need the praise.. he knows he is all that and a bag of chips lol!

Aiden is craftier than i give him credit for sometimes for instance this weekend he broke out his ninja skills.. twice.
so Saturday i was sat at my computer eating some pringles, Aiden had polished off his crisps and was eye-balling mine..
so he made out like he was tearing off his height chart off the wall ( he is 3 ft 4 inches by the way) by patting it noisily.. then said to me "no mommy don't check it out!" so of course I did..
while i got up and checked out the completely undisturbed wall chart.. he dashed behind me and grabbed my pringles... the little bugger had made a distraction! an actual plan of action to get my crisps! i was amused.. but amazed at the same time..at 2 years 8 months.. his mind is working is mischievous ways!

so Sunday.....bath time.. daddy comes and takes him out of the bath.. lays him down on a towel in his room to dry him off and before he can get his nappy on Aiden demands a magazine to read while he is getting dressed for bed.. this is almost always a spongebob magazine.. daddy being non the wiser did not put a nappy on him, or just give him a book instead that was right on the shelf.. but let the naked Aiden lay on the towel.. and ran down stairs, less than 30 seconds, to get him said magazine.. in such time, Aiden stood up, pee'd on his towel.. then ran off to jump on daddy's bed.....he had no interest in the magazine.
