Aiden: I'm poor.
(this is as he is tucking into a breakfast of french toast, banana's and juice)
me: you are not poor.
Aiden: yes I am, I'm poor because I can't go to school.
(it takes me a while after this to realise he is saying this because we can't afford to send him to the private school we sent him to last year)
me: poor means you don't have any money.
Aiden. no it doesn't
( i get the ipad and look it up on the dictionary app and show him)
me: see, that's what poor means. if there is anything you don't know what it means, you can look it up here.

aiden then looks up the definition of poop.

aiden for the past couple of days has been saying something i have no idea where he picked up, every time he said i told him that was not something he should say, it was not appropriate.. i had no idea where he got it from, until last night..
(this is when we are watching an episode of Shaun the Sheep..)

aiden: TITTY UP, TITTY UP!

me: aiden you should not say that, titty is not a word you should say.

aiden: Oh.. its TIDY up, I meant to say TIDY...

me: yes, its tidy up...
(the episode was obviously about cleaning)

its aidens 5th Birthday!!! sad he is getting older, that he is not a little baby or toddler, even though he will always be my baby. but just to remind myself he is still my child, and a child, he still comes up with the greatest stuff. Yesterday..
me: (singing in a opera voice)..(badly)... Tomorrow is your birthday!!! You are going to be 5 years oooooold! You are going to be 5 yeeears ooold! ( about to start 3rd verse, when interrupted)
aiden: mom, you already said that twice.. im not interested!

and today.. we have ordered aiden his favorite meal for lunch.. cheese pizza. aiden is tucking into his pizza, and enjoying it the way a 5 year old can!
dad: is that just what the doctor ordered buddy?
aiden: no dad, it was pizza hut.


Happy Birthday my Angel! I love you so very very much.. You are my Sun, you brighten everything, and you always have.

soo the other day, aiden and i are discussing colours..
aiden: whats your favorite colour?
me: well, i like lots of colours, i dont have just one favorite, i like yellow, and purple and lavender...
aiden: and orange!
me: orange is ok...
aiden: and Aqua!
me: aqua is nice
aiden: yes, aqua is nice.. light blue is the Capital of Aqua!!

will have to write down something aiden said while we were visiting nana and grandad in England.
robin is dancing with missy in the living room, aiden walks in:
aiden: Daaaad! ( holds hand up to stop ) the crime scene is over!

apparently daddy's dancing was just to embarrassing. :p

while the kids were at my moms saturday...
Bella had apparently filled her pants... my dad says, 1.2.3.. Not it!
aiden says: 1.2.3 not it..
before my mom can get to bella to change her diaper, she runs over to aiden who is laying on the floor playing with his toys, and sits on his face..
aiden: Ugh Bella! You have a Disease!

going to try and remember a few of the things aiden has said/done over the past week, i know there are atleast 3 things i wanted to put down i here, but i can only think of 2 of them right now.

just now coming into the house, was on the phone with robin having a tab outside while bells is sleeping...
aiden: mom i'm trying to cook a cheez-it, but its not hot..
( this is where i stop him from putting the cheez-it into his mouth that he has been holding over the hot steam humidifyer, with Vicks Vapo Steam pumping out of it).

saturday night, its bed time, i had let aiden stay in bed with me thursday night because he had his "special dentist appointment" the next morning, which was his outpatient dental work for the cavities and apparent crown he needed, i let him stay in my bed friday night, because he had that appointment.. soo now its saturday night, aiden is stood at my bedside desperate to sleep in my bed again..
aiden: i want to sleep with you in your bed!!
me: aiden, mommy wants to sleep in her bed with daddy. mommy wants some mommy time in her bed..
aiden: *tears in his eyes*  BUT WHAT ABOUT AIDEN!!!!! I WANT SOME AIDEN TIME! I WANT SOMEONE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH AIDEN IN MY BED!!! he then crumpled into tears...
so um yeah, i let him sleep in my bed..

remembered what it was he said. as we are standing outside Nebraska Furniture Mart, im getting ready to put missy in her carseat and aiden is holding onto her stroller while she was still in it..
aiden:  Baby For Sale! We got your Baby, right here! baby for sale!
me: isobelle is not for sale..

First Day of Preschool 2011

me: so what did you do today? did you colour?
aiden: Yeah, we coloured!
me: what did you colour?
aiden: makenzie's dress..
me: you coloured on makenzies dress!
aiden: yeah.. i mean no!  i coloured her dress, on paper, not for real..
me: did you colour anything else?
aiden: yeah we coloured shoes, and a shirt, and shorts...

ok so i am seeing her influence here, lol!

me: soo did you make any new friends other than Makenzie?
aiden: Yeah! Jack!
me: you made a new friend named Jack!
aiden: yeah, he's a naughty boy!
me: he's naughty?
aiden: yeah, he slapped me in my face!
me: he slapped you in the face!!! why did he do that?
aiden: because i was being naughty..
me: why were you being naughty?.
aiden: because jack wasnt sharing, he didnt share his toy, or his drink, he wouldnt do nothing!

so first day of school went pretty smooth then.... >.<

this is from last week
aiden has just got up.
me: hey buddy, did ya sleep good? did you have nice dreams?
aiden: no i was dreaming about monsters.
me: what kind of monsters?
aiden: no no, i was in the monsters memory..
me: what were you doing there?
aiden: i was trying to get to his dance core..
me: what is his dance core for?
aiden: it makes him go to sleep.
me: why you were trying to make him go to sleep?
aiden: Because of my balloons..
me: was he trying to pop your balloons?
aiden: .. yeah


i think i let him watch too much "Adventure Time"

aiden: I want bigger toys, and a bigger house, and i am a big boy, so i am getting married!
me: who are you getting married to?
aiden: everyone!
me: you cant marry everyone, you can only marry one person. so who do you want to get married to?
aiden: daddy and you..
...me: you can only get married to one person, and you stay married to them forever.
aiden: and ever?
me: forever and ever, so if you had to pick any boy or girl, who do you want to marry?
aiden: dad.

 

 

whatever!

aiden: *sighs* everybody hates me.
me: why do you think everyone hates you?
aiden: because im not allowed to do anything..
me: except play with your toys or watch tv?
aiden: *sighs* yeah.



life is tough lol

aiden got his hair cut yesterday to get him ready for the new school year, we didnt go to shear madness, im still mad at them for messing up bella's first hair cut.. we went to supercuts instead..
after getting a great new haircut, and he does look really great.. he recieved a lollipop for being so good.. he chose grape.. as we are getting into the car aiden says:
This Tastes like Allergies!
me: *huge smile and giggles*.. you mean it tastes like your allergy medicine?
aiden: yeah, it tastes like allergies
me: your allergy medicine is grape flavored, and that lollipop is grape flavored.
aiden: no, it just tastes like allergies....

aiden is sat at the counter, throwing a temper tantrum because i set the timer while he eats.. since he never eats a meal in a timely way.
aiden: (squealing and bouncing up and down in his chair)
me: is that good manners?
aiden: no
me: then why are you doing it?
aiden: because im mad that you set the timer..
me: and why did i set the timer?
aiden: because i dont eat.
me: and why dont you eat?
aiden: because im a kid.
me: fair enough.

over the past few days aiden and I have ended up with different conversations about food..
on Tuesday I was over at my my mothers, we had filled up the little kiddie pool, and aiden and i were playing restaurant with it, he would dip his fingers in the pool, or use the floating rings in it to pretend they were some sort of kitchen..
aiden: ok mommy, what do you want to eat next! ( he was pretending the floatie ring was a giant donut, and he had already been bringing me coffee and donuts, we were now moving on to the main menu)
me: bbq pulled pork, baked beans, coleslaw, and corn bread!
aiden: coming right up!... here ya go! ( i eat pretend food)
aiden: what would you like next!
me: turkey, stuffing, mashed potato's and gravy...(aiden serves me pretend food, i eat it)
aiden: ok mommy what do you want now?
me: i think i will move on to the desert menu now chef aiden!  I want Apple pie, pumpkin pie, lemon pie, key lime pie, rhubarb pie, and chocolate cake!
(aiden pretends to bring me a giant platter of desert.. i eat said platter)
aiden: ok now what..
me: i think i need a little time to digest all that.
aiden: you don't need more time.. what next, ( he stands at the pool, looking at me, floatie ring in hand.)
me: I'll have, steak and mushroom pie.. (this is where he cuts me off)
aiden: WHAT!! you don't want desert?!
me: i already had deserts.
aiden: *exasperated sigh* Ugh, i don't think you are hungry any more!
(walks away from pool)

did i mention, aiden HATES mushrooms.. hahahaha


ok, so i am making dinner yesterday, aiden is trying to recite off a list of snacks he is wanting right then and there..
me: aiden i am making dinner, i want you to eat your dinner, not snacks.
aiden: what are you making for dinner?
me: i am making beef wellington.
aiden: Ewww, i dont want beef wellington! its gross!
me: aiden, beef wellington is one of your daddy's favorite dishes, it comes from England, and you were born in England, Beef Wellington is delicious.
aiden: I am not from England, i do not like beef wellington, i like cheese pizza, and cheeseburgers!
me: well you are definitely American there...

look over at counter, aiden is not in his chair, not eating his breakfast.
me: Aiden, what are you doing?
Aiden: (from bathroom) I had the massive poops!
ahh good times, good times!

on the way home from aidens school this morning
me: what do you want for lunch today?
aiden: oh i dont know.
me: you want hotdogs?
aiden: yeah , i want to eat it on my tray, i broke it, but only a little
me: you broke it?
aiden: yeah i stepped on it, but its ok.
me: ahh so you only broke a part of it.
aiden: whats a part?
me: a part means, it is just a piece of something, like the bottom of your shoe is just a part of the shoe, the tongue of the shoe is just a part of the shoe, and the strap is a part too..
aiden: parts are really irritating.

would like to add last nights hilarity
aiden is not eating his dinner
me: aiden if you don't eat your dinner, i might have to bite your bum! (this of course is meant to be a joke)
aiden: Nooo! don't bite my bum or the blood will come out!
both robin and i burst into histerical laughter..
aiden storms off, saying its not funny! don't laugh at me!

we tried to tell him we weren't laughing at him, that he just said something funny.. i don't think he was buying it.
