Aidan-isms

• Aidan's new favorite way to ask me a question... "What in the heck is _____________?"
  
• Whenever Aidan wants us to watch something that isn't just a quick thing, he says, "I need you to watch me for a mealion (million) seconds."
  
• The other day, I was cleaning up our downstairs (Toys R Us as my good friend calls it). Aidan was jumping on the trampoline, and I said, "Aidan, you need to get over here and help me clean." His reply... "Mommy, I'm getting my exercises!" He has quickly learned that that is the only way he gets out of things.
  
• Aidan has also discovered that Jared and I are total weaklings when it comes to him being sweet. Yesterday, when I was sighing and grumbling to myself about how messy the boys are, Aidan got off the trampoline, ran over to me, kissed me and ran back to the trampoline. He said, "There, Mommy. Are you happy now?"
  
• This morning when Aidan came down the stairs, I went over to greet him, and I asked him if I could hold him. His response: "Mommy, you can always hold me." If he keeps this up, I'm completely done for; he'll get whatever he wants! :-)
• Today, we're making homemade ice cream for dessert. Aidan is super excited, so he keeps asking when we're having it. I told him after dinner. His response: "Then I want to skip dinner!" :-)
