Ah ha!

December 6, 2004

I put Christmas lights up in Aeden's room, or rather I was attempting to, but it was a very short strand, so I left them for Eric to figure out.

Before he got the chance, Aeden decided to plug them in. He knows the rules, only Mommy and Daddy plug things in. So he lost the Christmas lights, they went downstairs instead.

Fast forward to this weekend. I had bought an extra strand of lights, and Eric and I asked Aeden where we should put them.

Aeden put his finger to his chin and said "hmmmm". He looked around and then said "Ah ha!" "My room!"

Nice try stinker. :P They went in the living room.

Sunny disposition

Present

November 23, 2004

Eric's mom called Aeden last night to see what he wanted for a present. She specifically asked him if he wanted a present, here is the conversation.

Tigtigs: "Would you like me to buy you a present?"
Aeden: "Yeah"
Tigtigs: "What would you like for a present?"
Aeden: "My Papa Tigtigs house, Sheila, Neil, Jessie"

She asked him two or three times what he wanted for a present, and each time he told her the exact same thing.

Dr. Aeden

Dr. Aeden here to make Elmo feel better.

No more mushrooms

Eric is playing a game (EQ1) and Aeden is watching it, apparently there are evil mushrooms attacking. When the mushrooms die they fall down.

So Aeden starts singing "The doctor said, No more mushrooms jumping on the bed".

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
