Rain

One rainy day last month I asked Aiden what he wanted to do. First there was dress-up including a transformer band-aide on his forehead and an oversized Hawaiian shirt. Then he decided we should go play in the rain. So we did.

Tasting raindrops.

Aidenisms

Aiden, like all kids his age, says the most hilarious things. I keep thinking .... I should write that down and then I forget. Sigh....anyway, here are a couple. I'll try and remember more.

Since Sol was born Aiden has been down in the dumps, pretty much every day. This was a seriously joyous kid, and now not so much. Lately he seems to be returning to his old self. Anyhow, for the last couple of months he says "Not good" every time we ask him how his day went, how the park was, how he felt about playing with friends, even when he appeared to be enjoying himself. After Sol's stay at the hospital, he started saying "because I have kidneys!" if we asked him why his day was "not good".

We hosted Christmas this year and when I was putting Sol down for a nap the family decided to watch a romantic comedy. When Aiden saw the couple kissing he asked, "Why is he bitting her?"

And....finaly a conversation with Dada......

Dada: Baba what do you want to do to day?

Baba: Target would be nice.

Dada: Really? What do you want to do there?

Baba: A ride or two would be good.

Merry Christmas

I'm not sure I'll get out cards this year. So....Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a happy New Year everyone. We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2011.

Hospital

My little man was so brave during his stay at the hospital. He didn't complain even though he had a crazy huge IV-lock for 2 days.

This was also the first time Baba and I had been separated for so long. During our visit we only saw each other for 2 hours each day. Its amazing to think I can still say that after 3 years. Lac and I can't even say that about each other.

Aiden was really worried about Sol and about my not coming home.

A friend told me about a ritual where you give a kiss for them to store in their pockets for later. I'm so grateful for this idea. It really helped both of us be able to say goodbye. Here I'm giving Aiden a good night kiss for each pocket. He told me he planned to put them on his knees.
