Happy St. Patrick's Day

Aeden Big Cid

Sleeping in

Not really a milestone, but it is 8:51 am and Aeden is still asleep.

Cheeto?

Ugly children

January 21, 2006

Aeden has a song he sings from a Dr. Jean CD we have. I will play out the last verse for you, but it starts with Saturday and each verse adds a day until the last one that has all the days.
____
Saturday pizza

Friday hot dog

Thursday ice cream

Wednesday Zoup

Tuesday snap beans

Monday peanut butter

Sunday chicken

All you lucky children, but that's okay...


Except it sounds like Aeden says "all you ugly children, it's okay".

Preschool Drop-off problems

January 13, 2006

Aeden has been in preschool since September. Every time I drop him off he has a cow, "Mommy stay with me, stay mommy" and then proceeds to cling to me, block the door and a teacher or the parent helper has to literally pick him up and hold him so I can leave. It is getting old, really old. I think there was maybe one month (November, I think) where he didn't do that, where he said bye mommy and let me leave.

Today he told me that he doesn't plan on going to Kindergarten becasue he doesn't want to leave mommy. Now while that is sweet and all, yeah, it is not going to work.

I tried bribing him saying if he was a big boy and told mommy, "Bye love you" when I said I had to go then I would take him on a date. The idea sounded good to him until time for me to actually leave. I am thinking of starting another chart where every time he says bye and lets me leave w/o contributing to the farmlife population he will get a star and after a certain amount we will have a Mommy/Aeden date. Not sure how well this will work and I haven't had a talk with Eric yet either.

No money!

January 8, 2006

Poor Aeden. At Christmas he received several gift cards in Christmas cards. Then his godparents gave him a card with $5 in it. He ignored the card and so they spent time teaching him (explaining) that cards are good, they usually have money in them. Great right?

Well, when we got back from AZ, there was a card waiting for Aeden. It was a lovely thank you card from his teacher. Sadly (and thankfully we were home), Aeden tore into that card as fast as he could and was totally disappointed when as he puts it "There's no money!".

Six Little Daddies

January 8, 2006

Okay, so everyone knows the song Aeden sings called "Six Little Ducks". On the plane the other day, Aeden totally on the fly, started being silly and sang it a different way.


Original:
Six little ducks went out one day, big ones, little ones, square ones too.
But the one little duck with the feathers on his back, he led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.


Aeden's modification:
Six little Daddies went out one day, big ones, little ones, square ones too.
But the one little daddy with the feathers on his back, he led the others with a spanking, with a spanking, with a spanking.
He led the others witha spanking, with a spanking, with a spanking.

Inbisible Aeden

January 8, 2006

We have a new person in our house, he is quite fast (he can fly to AZ and back to NY in the blink of an eye). He also enjoys egg salad, and candy, and playing.

Oh and he loves to have his own plate of food, his own color when playing sorry, and his own hand of UNO.

His name is "Other Aeden" or sometimes "New one Aeden". He is Aeden's inbisible friend.
He is also the one who doesn't put his plate away, or clean-up and who does all the naughty things.
