Conversations with Aiden

Not a day passes that something interesting or funny doesn't come out of Aiden's mouth! He is getting so smart and I can just see the little wheels in his brain turning as he figures things out.

Here are a few of the conversations we have had with Aiden in the last few months:

Aiden was in his car seat and yelled for our cousin Karen to come say "hi" through the car window.
Karen: Hi, Aiden! Are you ticklish?
Aiden: Mom, can you close my window please?

Me: Aiden, I need you to get your flip-flops on before you go outside.
Aiden: Yes, your highness.

Bryce: Aiden, I would like to watch a movie with my son.
Aiden: OK! Can I wait with you until he gets here?

Our internet shut off for a minute, so Aiden's PBS game turned off as well. When I got it back up, Aiden exclaimed "Oh mom! I'm so proud of you!"

In the car, I revved the engine to pass a slower car and I hear Aiden in the back seat:
"Now THATS what I'm talking about!"

Aiden: Dad, you're the kind of guy who can accomplish anything.

Aiden: Oh mom! I just dropped my stupid lemonade!
Me: Aiden, we do not say stupid in this house.
Aiden: OK mom. I will just go outside and say it.

Bryce: Aiden, what did you do today?
Me: We made banana bread and Aiden was a big helper by staying out of mommy's way :)
Aiden: Dad, where is Mommy's way?

I was telling Bryce that Aiden had been riding his bike up and down the street that day, and our next door neighbor came flying out her front door to make sure someone was watching him. Aiden's eyes got suddenly wide and he says "Mom! I didn't know she could FLY!"

Me: (to Aiden) Hey honey, what do you want to do today?
Aiden: (with a blank stare) Am I honey?
Me: Yes!
Aiden: Mom, I already talked to you about this. My name is AIDEN, not honey.

It was getting close to bed time and I was trying to get Aiden to relax before he went to sleep.
Me: Aiden, you can either watch your cartoon or go to bed.
Aiden: Mom, I can either watch my cartoon, go to bed or play the ipad... I think I'll play the ipad. Thanks mom!


We love our little ball of energy!

That kid rules. I like to picture him outside the house saying "Stupid" under his breath over and over.
