Aiden had a great christmas this year, he was a little sad when we told him to come open presents, he ran to the front door, looked out and said: There's no Snow!, It's not Christmas!
then he tried to go back down stairs at my moms house.
We convinced him just because there was no snow didn't mean it wasn't Christmas. He was a little bummed but halfway into opening the first gift, he obviously forgot there was no snow.
He got a aquadoodle wall runner, a glow in the dark colouring board, a spongebob woopie cushion and part horns from Nana and grandad, which were his favorite by far, and drove my mother up the wall. He also got a dump truck, a "cars" car named Jamie :), a colouring book and a big box of crayola's, 7 new books for his Tag, 3 from grandma in England, 2 from grandma Kansas, and 2 from us.  2 Zhu Zhu pets, one has its own boat. Caterpillar balloons from nana and granddad, 4 new hot wheels, and when he got home the day after Christmas, we had set up for him his brand new train station table with train set, covered with a blanket and a giant red bow, its still taking up a 1/4 of my living room. Ah he also got a doctors kit, and he loved it, kept taking all our temps, checking our heartbeat, and giving us injections :) I am sure there are more things i am forgetting, but all in all he got a great haul! Boxing day night, he realized Isobelle's "my friend Violet" dog, was very cool, it talked said your name, favorite foods, colours, etc, and was very upset he didnt have a dog that knew his name, and with tears he told us,, but it knows her name! we couldn't help resist to flag one down for him, we went to the target and got him a "my pal Scout" he has been sleeping with it every night.

I thought I would ad, last night i was reading him his bed time storie, and he took it from me and said " i want to read it!" he then read me , "I love you, Stinky Face" twice, and i watched his little face while he read it, and he was actually looking at the words, not just reading it from memory, I am so proud!

this morning while getting aiden dressed for school.

aiden: *sniffing air* I smell something
me: what do you smell?
aiden: it smells like yellow.
me: it smells like yellow? i dont know what you mean..
aiden: yeah it smells like yellow, the hot chopsticks you put on your face.
me: it smells like chopsticks?
aiden: yeah the kind you put on your lips to make you feel better..
me: .... Oh you mean Chapstick.. it smells like my chapstick.
aiden: Yeah!


aiden ofcourse meant my carmex.. he is still too adorable sometimes :)

...

sunday, aiden has a hand down his pants...
me: aiden get you hand out of your pants!
aiden: my winky is flashing red because I was playing with it....(yells) aaaaaaaaaahhhh


daddy sorted him out, but it was just too funny!

Dear Santa,

I helped Aiden make out his letter to santa today.. it read something like this..

Dear Santa, for Christmas I would like, a hampster, dump truck, a car, helicopter, train, wheel, xray.

Aiden.

I bet santa can work on a couple of those this year :)

...

this morning at breakfast, aiden was not eating as per usual.. and getting into trouble as per usual..


aiden: i love my life.. but everyday it gets ruined!

who knew sausages were so devastating!

nonsense

yesterday aiden and daddy carved a pumpkin..
more like aiden picked out the pattern he wanted on the pumpkin and daddy did all the work.
he chose a skull, and daddy did a good job too.
soo daddy is carving said pumpkin, aiden is balancing on a ball and collecting rocks.. then he tries to balance rocks on top of the ball, doesnt work, so he takes the rocks and tries to put them in daddy's pockets whilst he is sitting down.

me: aiden, daddy doesn't want rocks in his pockets.
aiden: Thats Nonsense!

all said and done, daddy takes the hose, rinses off driveway, turns off hose.. little did we know, aiden turned the hose back on.. and an hour later or so, we go outside to see our hose has burst.

poor aiden

today aiden got up at 6:01.
we have put a clock in his room and advised him he is not to get out of bed until the first number on the clock is a 6 or a 7 to stop him from coming in my room between 4 and 5 declaring "i had a good nap!... can i play the ipod please?"
so today he gto up, i sent him back to his room with the ipod, and went back to bed. 7 oclock aiden comes in my room.
"im hungry, i got up and i wanted breakfast but you weren't there!"

poor aiden, oatmeal with strawberrys and baby banana were served immediately! then we went to ihop where he had a funny face pancake.
 it is nice to be needed, even if it is at 7 am.

.....

tuesday, im putting on aidens shoes so he can go outside and play in the sand... he lets out this huge fart!..

me: did you just trump?

aiden: no

me: that wasn't a trump?

aiden: no, it was a poo trump!

me: why because it smells like poo?

aiden: Yes!

both: *uproarious laughter!*

im glad we can share the same sense of humor.

today on the drive home from school with daddy

daddy: how was your day today aiden?

aiden: Gah! You ask me about my feelings 7 days a week!

at least we ask! lol

bath time surprise!

last night in the bath with daddy..
aiden says: I have acorns in my winky!
robin: no aiden they are called balls, and they will hurt if you don't stop playing with them!

today, im making a sandwich, and the mustard does that farty sound..
aiden: mommy isobelle pooped!

no $

aiden just came up to me, pulled the pockets out of his jeans so they were stickign out and said: i got no pockets to my name!
me: i think you mean no pennie's.

and im pretty sure he picked this up from grandpa keesee.

dinner time yesterday, im plannign on making Hamburger Helper, so I choose 3 different kinds, and show them to aiden so he can pick out which one he wants.. He chooses the middle box, Cheeseburger Mac.. As im heading back to the kitchen aiden says:
I don't want that, I'm not hungry.... I want Muggets!
me: you want Muggets?
aiden: yes I want Muggets!
me: well you can have Muggets tomarrow, we are having this tonight.

So at the dinner table.. not eating "muggets", we are discussing teeth and chewing. I point out Isobelle has no teeth so she cannot have hamburger helper.
aiden: I have teeth, and you have teeth!
me: and daddy has teeth!
aiden: no daddy doesn't have teeth.
me: daddy doesn't have teeth?
aiden: no, daddy has big cheeks on his face! and Isobelle has big cheeks on her face! (points to Izzy)
me: Oh, I see.


apparently daddy has no teeth to chew hamburger helper, or muggets.. but he can eat them with his face.. lol

Aug 3rd 2010

today when we woke up, i took aiden to the potty, and gave him praise for having a dry pull up..

me: Aiden thats wonderful, you haven't pee'd your pants, High Five! (high fives me)
aiden: yeah i haven't pee'd my pants because bee's will get in there, buzz buzz buzz!
me: you have bee's in your pull up?
aiden: Yeah! (very happy about bee's in his pants apparently)


and today while changing Isobelles diaper, she had an explosive ... projectile.. poo! aiden did not appreciate this...aiden told daddy about it..

Aiden: Isoblle pooped on mommy's pants, and i threw up in my throat!


ahh good times!

All sales Final!

When I took Isobelle to the Dr yesterday, I had Aiden in the car with me, her Dr's office is right by the hospital where I had her.
aiden: I don't want to go to the doctor.
me: no Aiden I'm not taking you to the doctor I am taking Isobelle to the doctor her doctor is different from yours.

.. we are approaching the turn off to the hospital...

aiden: (joyfully exclaims!)yes this is it! right here! You have to take her back!...
me: (holding back bursts of laughter)... no aiden, im just taking her to the doctor.

aiden: "Yes I AM 3 yrs old!! Im going to work!"

hehehe

Cinco de .. mayo?

ok so i have been super slacking on poor aiden's blog! we have moved to KCMO to our new town home we are renting. Aiden loves all the little friends he has around the neighborhood, especially a little girl named Mackenzie who is 2 1/2. we are awaiting the arrival of our new family addition who should be here in 22 days or less! and i hoped i have explained to aiden somewhat enough he will understand. i thought i would add in some of the little things he has done lately to make me smile.
a week or so ago i sprained my wrist and had it in a half cast/wrap, aiden didn't see me come home from the hospital with it so when he saw me first thing in the morning he asked "mommy did you get hit by car?!" i said no and he stroked my face and said "its ok mommy, it will get better"
a couple nights ago aiden wasn't eating his dinner as per usual, and over emotional mommy started to cry, aiden asked for hugs and then said "its ok mommy, don't cry aiden's here."

this morning i was having a bit of braxtonhicks contractions, hip pain and pelvis pain.. and aiden woke me up by screaming at me that he was awake, "I'm awake, MOMMY I AM AWAKE!, I'm awake I'm awake......" to which i replied... then get out of the bloody bed then! realizing this was a bad idea to scream mommy awake, he turned on the charm.. "good morning mommy! its nice to see you", followed by hugs.. "i love you mommy" me : im sorry for yelling, mommy just hurts a little today" "where does it hurt mommy, i will kiss it better!" .. "my belly" i tell him. so he plants a huge kiss on my belly.. "there its all better now"
i think we have a running theme of aiden trying to comfort me better for the last few weeks, poor little guy. i feel bad for him, but he is a very sweet, kind and caring little man.. he makes me so proud!
thought i would also add.. a little bit ago, aiden comes up to me and puts a panda sticker on my belly, and then informed me "killing people is bad", whilst he plays with his magnetic letters on the fridge.. things that make you go hmmmmm.

i haven't updated Aiden's blog pretty much since we hopped the pond, so i thought i would try to add a couple things that my scrambled brain can actually remember.
last weekend i wasn't feeling very well, Aiden had caught a cold about 2 weeks ago and graciously shared with us all.. shared so much his doctor thought he might of had mono, but everyone is pretty much better now except for me.
so me and Aiden are sitting in the downstairs watching TV, and he says to me, "c'mon mommy lets go lay down and i will make you feel better"
we go into the bedroom and he has me lay on my side, then he proceeds to give me a rub down/massage with a "krabby patty" , it is in actuality the top and bottom half of a plastic bun for his kitchen set..
regardless it was very sweet.
then on Sunday, i had robin get him up as i still had the plague, and while robin was upstairs making his oatmeal, Aiden runs into my room, with his boiler suit footed pajama's on..and his stethoscope :) he climbs up into bed.. has me breathe while he listens to my belly, makes me say "achoo".. then says "Hmmmm" climbs down off the bed and then turns to me at the door and says "you wait right here, i will be right back with something to make you feel better!" i think he was side tracked by breakfast because i didn't see him anymore for a little bit. it is still lovely of him to be so attentive and kind.

now today was sunny and semi-warm so we were outside a bit, playing with his F-150 taking a walk and him riding his trike. he was on his tricycle which he had coasted down the hill of the drive and couldn't pedal it up the rest of the drive because it is too steep and turns to me "mommy I'm going to Walmart!" he trie's and trie's to get up the hill on the gravel but no cigar.. "Mommy, I want to take this push bike to Walmart!"
good man.. he likes to shop!

Also while eating dinner the other night.. he leans back in his chair, rubs his belly and says.. "mmm the baby likes it!" we keep trying to explain, only mommy's can have babies in the belly :)
