Let's go...






We had so much fun going to the park for a picnic the other night with the boys. Nonnie and Poppy had given them new kites, that only daddy had flown with them. Aidan was so excited to show me how they could fly them. Well, it was the first night with no wind in a while, so it didn't work out so well. They wore themselves out, trying, though, so there was no bed time stalling that night!

That's where it came from!

So just the next night, Aidan and I were talking about babies, AGAIN (his new favorite subject, at the time), and I found out that a little boy in his class found out he was going to be a big brother. The teacher must have talked about it enough to get his brain going about it. He is now over it, accept for the occasional thought on the subject. : "If we had a baby, I could sit in the way back, all the time. " He loves to sit in the back row of my car. (He's the independent type. It makes him feel special. :) ) Or: "Babies cry a lot, so I won't get sad if we, you had a baby in your tummy and she would cry a lot. You can just give her milk." SO, So cute. I just love hearing his little ramble sentences. At least at first. Oh, yeah, this one's cute, too: " Babies can't play in the sand, because they just can't walk so I'll have to carry the sand over to the baby in the shovel." Oh, Aidan. I am going to be so sad when you don't say those cute things anymore. Writing it down totally makes me love you for it all over again. It's so hard to cherish every moment...we are trying! He's such a good big brother. We are so proud of him!

Birds and the bees on the brain

Last night after saying prayers, Aidan said: "Mommy, where do babies come from?"
Uh, Uh, ok, can he really be asking that so outright, so out of nowhere? He's only 41/2! So, as quickly as I could muster an answer, I said: "Mommy and daddy make the babies", hoping he would drop it. Then he said: "Oh. Can you make a baby so we can be 5 of us?"
Awwwe! Such a cutie.
