I had the BRIGHT (not) idea to go to the mall today with Aidan in tow. GRUMBLE. What the hell was I thinking? He was fine the first half of the trip. We looked around a few stores, he played in the Zoo Court, and asked cute questions. THEN, he turned into little MONSTER Aidan. I thought he was hungry, so off to the food hall we went. Oh nope. He threw a tantrum there, and we came home. So I figured–oh, he’s tired, we’ll just take a nap. Sure enough, he was falling asleep in the car on the way home, but of course, something happened in the 30 second transition between car and bed. He woke up and proceeded to be annoying for 90 minutes. *sigh* So that means I’m still tired, and I am hesitant about going out later because he didn’t actually nap which could mean yet another meltdown, but I’m so antsy and really not wanting to stay here all day. *sigh* So now what?

Although, the places I’d go this evening would be places that involve shopping carts, so he’d be somewhat restrained, anyway. But man, he and I do more arguing than I’d like, which is frustrating. I try to keep the upper hand, but he always has the last word! And sometimes he’s so unreasonable. For example:

Ronni: Aidan, stop yelling.
Aidan: YOU STOP YELLING!
Ronni: Aidan, I’m not the one who is yelling.
Aidan: YES YOU ARE! NOW STOP IT!

o.O

So whatever else happens, whatever fun thing he was doing gets taken away when he speaks to me that way. I am NOT trying to have my kid on Jerry Springer or something in a few years cussing me out up and down the coastline.

Anyway…

Now it smells good here because I just made Aidan a pot pie. Ugh, I am so freaking tired. πŸ™ No rest ’til tonight/tomorrow, though. I think we will head out to a couple of stores tonight, though, to keep me from going stir-crazy.

Later!

Conversations With Aidan

Pre-sleepytime conversations.

Aidan: There is lots of food at Grandmommy’s!
Ronni: What do you eat there?
Aidan: I can’t say ALL the food. It’ll make me CWAZY!!!!

Ronni: Close your eyes…. and dream about marshmallows.
Aidan: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Can you say that again?

(Everytime I said it, he would start cracking up before I could get “close your eyes” out. Then he was trying to keep himself from laughing, which made ME laugh, which made him laugh even more.)

This morning.

Ronni: How many toes do you have?
Aidan: (points to top of foot) Two.
Ronni: No, these are your toes. You have ten toes. These (points to top of foot) are your feet.
Aidan: Oh. And my toes are part of my feet!
Ronni: That’s right!

Last weekend.

Ronni: Do you want me to get you a brown cookie?
Aidan: Yes.
Ronni: Okay.
Aidan: Actually, I want a purple cookie.
Ronni: oO Okay.

He’s so smart! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ I am amazed at how articulate he is, and how quickly he figures things out. He’s a good problem solver. He can spell his name, he has a great memory, and wow. He’s just incredible.

Now if only I could get him to not be so messy……
