its good to be loved

while laying on the floor this morning trying to fix aidens toy guitar that had a string come undone ( i did fix it in the end!) aiden decided to be absolutely lovely!
he came up to me and hugged my foot..
"i love mommy's foot"
then my knee
"i love mommy's knee"
and so on , this is how it went, Each item getting a hug or a press of his cheek..
"i love mommy's leg"
"i love mommy's belly"
"i love mommy's neck"
"i love mommy's ear"
"i love mommy's cheek"
"and the other one!"
"i love mommy's eye"
"i love mommy's hair"
"i love mommy's hand"
"i love mommy's fingers"
"i love mommy's boobies" (who doesn't! lol)
"i love mommy's foot"
and so we ended with the foot again, but all in all, i felt pretty darn loved this morning, maybe it was force feeding him his cheerios with strawberries thru half hearted tears with the promise of orange jelly (jell-o) later if he cleaned up his bowl. What ever it was, thanks Aiden, you made my day!

maybe i should pronounce things better...
on our little walk this afternoon we were walking past a light pole and aiden was about to touch it as he likes to explore most things, and i said
"dont touch that, dogs pee on those".. and they do, as there are usually little puddles under quite a few of them as we walk down to the shops when it sunny.
so we are coming up to another light pole and aiden says..
"here comes another Piano!"

ever since aiden discovered i am a girl, every night at bed time he likes to re-go over this in one small way or another, based on what i am wearing, or some small event of the day, if i am wearing red, i am a red girl etc.. this was last nights conversation.

"mommy you are a black girl"
um yes, i am a girl, in black.
"mmm, i love my black girl!"
i love you too.
"i love you too, goofy!"



this morning aiden was trying to put on a pair of slipper socks i got him for christmas, they are long with leather soles, and you have to stretch them out to put them on (he wasn't succeding at getting the socks on i might add), i was making a cup of tea in the kitchen when he came in, stuck the socks on the kitchen counter and informed me..

"these are rubbish!"

just like dad

with his peter rabbit book tote in one hand and his "somewhere over the rainbow" radio playing in the other (from 1981 i got him on ebay), he looks at me and says, "Bye Mommy, I'm going to work!", and heads out the living room, then i hear the tinkling of keys as he tries to get out the locked front door.....
