 she scratched herself  honey, she hurt herself.
aiden to isobelle:

yesterday, feeding Isobelle in her bumbo on the coffee table, aiden sat next to us in his little blue chair...
Aiden: (picks up his chair and moves it)
me: where are you going?
Aiden: Im moving, I dont want to smell that! (gags)
me: its just baby food!

he gags every time he see's her baby food, apprently because it looks the same going in as it does coming out..

 today while making him a snack he comes up behind me.. as i passed gas...
aiden: (gags) Isobelle stinks! You need to change her!
me: no, sorry aiden that was me.. i farted..

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!
