Yours Mine and Ours

Aiden-isms!



One morning I was taking Aiden to school and a truck passed me and merged into my lane and Aiden said “Mom you are driving too slow!!”

Aiden’s teacher, Miss Amanda, told me she asked Aiden what his baby brother’s name was and he responded back “Spiderman!” She asked multiple times and got the same response each time.

I bought Aiden an Obi Wan action figure as a reward, I was teasing him when we got in the car and asked if I could play with it, he gave me a funny look and said “No, but you can play with the box.”

Aiden refers to everything in the past as “Yesterday!” He said to me this morning “Mom, do you remember yesterday when I was hiding behind your chair and the policeman came?” This happened a few months ago when Aiden hid from us one morning – we tore the house apart searching from him (except behind this chair) and I called the police when I couldn’t find him!

I can’t sleep until the kids are asleep, so after bed time stories I’ll check in on Aiden 30 mins or so later to make sure he is asleep, last night when I checked in on him he was still awake. I was holding baby Michael and Aiden wanted to kiss him goodnight, he leaned over and whispered in his ear “I hope you are a Jedi!”

I make Aiden wash his hands every time he’s done playing with Maggie. I always make him let me smell his hands when he’s done washing to make sure he’s used soap. Saturday he came in and said “mom I don’t have to wash my hands, smell them! Maggie washed them for me!”

Aiden is a social butterfly, as soon as he gets home he wants to play with his friends, he’ll say “Can I play with Spencer Mom? Can I, Can I, Please can I?”

Aiden is trying to understand family relations and he frequently asks me “Mom, is Bear my sister?” because he keeps forgetting the term is Cousin!!

I never knew that there was so much drama among 3 year old boys –Aiden will come home and say “Charlie’s my best friend!” then the next day he’ll say “Charlie’s not my friend anymore”. According to his teacher all the boys get into fights each day about who is who’s friend.
