Mommy: “Let’s watch something.”
Aidan: “Watch the baby crack?”
Just had to share.
Aidan has been growing by leaps and bounds in the last month both in body and mind. We left Vancouver with 3 pairs of shoes that fit and by the weekend of the first week they no longer fit. We brought out his Aunt PJ’s old tricycle and he couldn’t quite push the pedals all around because he was too short and a week later he can. 🙂
Language is another story where his grammar is exploding. Aidan has explored both plurals and possessives for some time but his sense of 1st, 2nd and 3rd person is just beginning to blossom. You know you are a geek when you mainly notice after he took a ding out of his Grampa’s floor the he said “I threw the bone.” He is also coming out with a number of new phrases including “Yes indeed!” Aidan’s sentences are also becoming much longer and more complicated. He understands the sequence of first, next and after, which just blows my mind!
The other (and last for this post) thing that has exploded is Aidan’s singing ability. Not an “erner erner” in the bunch. He now sings a medly of Twinkle, Twinkle, The Alphabet Song, Baa, Baa Black Sheep, Skinamarink, 5 Little Monkeys, Bingo and new today I am Slowly Going Crazy. I am sure you also see the irony in this. 🙂
Have a great one!
Last night we had a wicked thunder storm while at Gramma and Grampa’s. Anthony is home in Vancouver so it is just Aidan and me here. Aidan did wake up as the THUNDER was very loud, so I brought him to the window to see the rain and lightening. As soon as he knew what was what Aidan curled up in bed with me and went right back to sleep.
When Aidan woke up he looked up at me and said “Big Trucks!”
I replied “Yes that is exactly what it sounded like. Big trucks in the sky.”
“Big trucks in the sky,” he repeated.
Yes indeed. Big trucks thundering in the sky and shaking the house. I am so glad we worked that out.
Did you know that if your bundt pan/tube pan is too small your angel food cake will be very puffed over the side? All I can say is Mary is probably getting a store bought cake for the cake and cheap booze on the porch. 🙂
Aidan liked the mixing of the cake though. 🙂
