Nice nap?

Aidan is playing with language this week. On Friday, he surprised Mama by asking for "Mack-ey" and "bus-ey" , instead of "mack" (milk) and "bus". He now alternates between calling eggs "eggs" or "eggies", too. Mama thinks it is kind of amazing, because it means that he has picked up the whole idea of diminuitives, and is experimenting with them himself! Aidan is also playing with the names he is calling us too: sometimes it's "Dada", other times it's "Daddy" ("da-DEE"), sometimes it's "Mama" (what he has always called me), other times it's "Mommy" ("MA-mee"). He's definitely trying different options on for size.


On Thursday, Aidan ran to wake up Daddy, and said, "Dada! Nice nap?" It was so cute! Mama always asks Aidan if he's had a nice nap when he wakes up, so that is probably where he picked it up. But it is way cuter coming from Aidan!


On Saturday, Aidan helped weed the garden at church along with other members of his Thursday playgroup, and had fun digging in the dirt with a shovel and kicking the soccer ball on the lawn. While he napped, Mama went on the flying trapeze again, which she loved! Then, that afternoon, we all went over to Aidan's friend Cira's house to celebrate Cira's second birthday. Aidan wasn't interested in the delicious lamb, couscous, or veggies, but he sucked up the juice-boxes, munched on pretzels, and was in heaven when they served chocolate and vanilla ice-cream cake! He had a ton of fun jumping on Cira's bed with her and climbing in and out of box tunnels, too.


On Sunday, we chilled out. Aidan helped Mama shop at Target, had a nice long nap, and we all went to the park.
