Potty training

October 2004

Aeden is pee-trained. He wears underwear all the time except night when he has a pull-up.

Mean boy!

September 13, 2004

Aeden was sitting on my lap writing on sticky notes while I read TWoP's Amazing Race recap. We were leaning back snuggling and he was in the crook of my arm.

All of a sudden he crumpled his sticky note and threw his hand up to throw it behind him and instead the sticky note and hand hit me straight in the eye.

Of course being the big wuss that I am both hands came up to my face and I started to cry. Then Aeden got upset and said sorry over and over while trying to pull my hands away from my face.

Then when I didn't respond to that he told me I was all better several times, and when I finally was calmer (although my eye hurt a LOT), he crumpled up another sticky note and said "Owie mommy eye again!"


Um NO.

Meow, meow

That is what Aeden was saying to the furry creature I found. I was working in the garden when I happened upon a furry creature and took it over to show my boys. Aeden came over and kept telling it "meow, meow".......................but it was a caterpillar!!! ROFL

Are you happy?

August 27, 2004

Aeden's new thing is "Are you happy mommy?" Then he goes down a list of other people asking if they are happy too.
Yesterday I was in a mood, so we had this bit of conversation.

Aeden: you happy Mommy?

Me: No

Aeden: you happy Mommy?

Me: No

Aeden: you happy Mommy?

Me: No

Aeden: you happy Mommy?

Me: No, Aeden are you happy?

Aeden: No, mad, mommy no happy

Me: Are you mad because mommy wouldn't say she was happy?

Aeden: Yeah.

3-year checkup

August 3, 2004

Aeden had his appointment and I was a bit disappointed, I thought they would ask more development questions (our old ped did). I mean she observed him and he was chatty and his usual active self, so maybe she didn't need to?

He wouldn't stand on the scale for her so I gave her the weight of 27ish pounds and she laid him down on the table and marked his height and measured that. She said he was 38.5 inches, which seems a bit off to me. I measured him myself and he is about 36.5" tall and 28 pounds.

Hmm, I checked the growth chart online and that put him at about 15ish percentile for weight and height. That seems more accurate. :D

Pickle Bug

June 18, 2004

My poor, poor child was minding his own business today getting ready to return his library book into the outside library drop when.........

a mean ole wasp* came up and stung his arm. Poor baby kept telling me it was owie. It got a little red and slightly swollen around the spot, but the swelling is gone and so is the redness (this happened 2 hours ago) and now there is only a spot.

We were in the children's area of the library and he stopped and came over to me to tell me about the bug that "bit" him.

*Although I can't be sure, I think it is a wasp because it looked suspiciously like the wasp that was in my hair on Wednesday.

First visit to the Ice Cream Park. Aeden's flavor of choice is vanilla with sprinkles.

Cuse me

Aeden has started saying "cuse me" after he burps, or when he needs to get by. It is by no means consistent, but it does pop out on occasion.

Flash forward to this morning: We were in the home depot parking lot and I started sneezing. And of course I sneezed like 5 times. As I was doing the last sneeze, Aeden says "cuse me, Mom".
