Just another funny Aidanism:
Aidan's favorite new show is "blue dogs." Any guesses? I bet many of you are thinking Blues Clues, which would be the most obvious guess. Is that your final answer? Wrong...
Aidan has discovered the show smurfs, which he refers to as the "blue dogs."
Aidan helped me and David make brownies the other day and was given the job of licking the spatula. As you can see, it's not a job he wanted but someone has to do it.
Aidan has been having a rough time with bedtime routines. Every night when I put him down, about 1 min. after I walk out of the room he starts crying and gets out of bed. He will then stand by the door and cry for me, but he never actually leaves his room. Tonight after about 45 min. he stopped crying and when I went up to check on him, I found him asleep like this at the end of the hall. Poor Aidan. Break my heart! Then of course the guilt sets in and I question if I handled it right or if I should have done something differently. (Mothers guilt is the worst!)
So it's been awhile since my last entry. We are all trying to get over colds... which is not fun. The other day Aidan told me he needed a tissue and I told him to go get one and this is what he came back with (plus more which you can't see in the picture.) After a moment of anger and frustration I thought this would make a great blog story instead, so I guess the blog saved him from a timeout.
And Brinn has always been a little binky girl but has started to discover her fingers... so I could be in trouble. So far she does not seem to favor a certain finger and I am hoping it stays that way.
I love watching my kiddos sleep... especially when they are babies. They just look so peaceful. Don't get me wrong, they are so fun when they are awake but there is just something special about those quiet moments.
Aidan has said some cute things this past couple days that I couldn't resist sharing...
- We have been talking about Jesus and about how Christmas is Jesus's birthday. Well, Aidan calls Jesus "G-cus," and points out all the nativities in the neighborhood. It is just the cutest little thing.
- He now calls Brinn "Sweetheart" or "Sweetie," and when she is crying he will go over to her and say,"oh sweetheart."
- Tonight Aidan was all excited about a dog he saw in the back of someones truck and so I repeated back what he had just told me and then said, "oh my." About two seconds later he added "goodness."
- He is the most grateful little kid... "thanks for dinner momma," umm "thanks for the walk," umm "thanks for the drink," umm "thanks for santa momma," umm "thanks for toys"... all within about one min.
- Yesterday on his own Aidan came and took my hand and said, "Let's go. Ready bed." Who can argue with that? I wasn't about to.

Aidan got a hold of my camera yesterday and took about 60 pictures with it before I finally caught on to his quiet little sneakiness. Actually I heard him ask Abbi the cat, "a see it Abbi?" (Every time I take his picture he asks me, "a see it"). So I am assuming he thought he was taking her picture. These were a few of my favorites.
I guess this is as close to a Christmas card as we are going to get this year. Just promise you wont laugh too hard!(See Link Below)
Merry Christmas!
