I spent a wonderful weekend visiting my baby brother in Florida! Aidan got to ride on a plane for the first time that he remembers – He rode one when he was 18 months old but its a big difference now. He was so excited! When the plane left the ground, he just kept screaming (sorry to any other passengers on the plane!) “We’re in the sky! We’re up in the ceiling! The sky the sky the sky!” And when we flew through clouds, he would say that we were going to get stuck in the cloud. He absolutely loved it. Then we got to see my nephews, Jackson and Eli, whom I haven’t seen in almost a year! I must say, me and my brothers can make some handsome boys! Both boys had the greatest hair ever. Jackson has an accent, and sings Oh My Darlin, and needs to be on Broadway. Eli makes a silly face that will put you in stitches. Aidan loved them so much, and has already asked when we can go back. I had to wake Aidan up on Sunday to come home and he was curled up in the bed with Jackson. I wish they lived closer, Aidan would have so much fun with them!
Some of Aidan at the airport. He rocked the True Religion jeans this weekend, I didn’t want to take them off of him! They are SO stinkin’ cute!
Practicing his model posing…
The boys in their designer jeans.
Playing on the beach, I LOVE the beach at the gulf. Aidan is still terrified of it, but its nice to not worry about waves knocking down the little ones.
Been a while since I did one, and I’m long overdue! Aidan has more personality in his pinky finger than I think I ever had, especially as a three year old. He’s definitely one of the most intelligent toddlers I’ve ever been around, and he has an awesome sense of humor!
10) Bras are called “boobies”, and in Kohls, he proudly pronounced “Those are some nice boobies mommy!” as we stroll beside the women’s unmentionables.
9 ) I have 7 scars on my stomach. While naming them all “Mommy’s booboos”, I told him one was my C-Section scar. “That’s where you came out,” I say. He points to my belly button. “And that’s how I got in, I fell down the hole!”
8 ) “I got my clothes on, and I’m handsome!”
7 ) “Yes I want ravioli, that’s fine”
6 ) After using the restroom, we need a whole new outfit. No wonder I can’t keep up with the laundry.
5 ) “I got a peepee, see. And a butt too. Yes, I do.” (This is a song)
4 ) He has driven over 100,000 miles on his little red/yellow punch bug through the house. He can’t just walk to the bathroom, he has to drive and park his car.
3 ) I say, “I love you to the moon and back,” and he says “No Granny do’s that.”
2 ) “You can take one picture, just one. Then I’m done.”
1 ) The problem with having a baby, I’m letting my heart walk around outside of my body.
Where have I been at all week? Oh my. We took Aidan to Busch Gardens, and I was SO happy with it! Sesame Street there is the sweetest, most entertaining show, and all the actors really acted like they enjoyed kids. Aidan had the MOST fun.
We spent mother’s day weekend at Topsail Island. It was a little cold for swimming, although we did get in the pool, but Aidan found a new love for playing in the sand. In the past, he has hated to get dirty, but he really liked it this time. We went on the Belle of Topsail on a dinner cruise, and Aidan got to see dolphins and be the center of attention, and even drive the boat!
The ten Aidan facts, beach style.
10. You backed up to the sign at the ticket center for the cruise boat, checked the height, and said “Yes I’m tall enough.” You can tell we’ve taken you to a carnival or two.
9. You snuck a pepsi from the fridge (you know you can’t have caffeine) and come up to me with the hiccups, pepsi breath, and a ring around your mouth. You say “That makes my feel better.”
8. You like to pretend you are Godzilla and smash all my hard made sandcastles.
7. You almost drown two times in the pool because you like to walk where its “too deeeeeep”
6. You wanted a ukulele SO bad, we bought it for you, and you broke it as soon as we walked out of the shop. Bam Bam.
5. You learned how to sing “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” in two tries.
4. Mollies makes good pancakes.
3. You got to drive the Belle of Topsail because you are too cute.
2. You grabbed everyone on the boat’s butts, but that was ok because you said “excuse me” while you did it.
1. You got to see dolphins for the first time!
