The biggest news this week is that, in our steps toward weaning, Mama and Aidan are officially down to one nursing per day. Until Thursday, Aidan was nursing in the mornings and before bathtime at night. However, on Wednesday and Thursday night, Aidan went to bed late, woke up late the next day, and didn't ask for milk from Mama ("Mack! Mama!") when he woke up in the morning. Since two days of anything is a big step toward a new routine, and Mama has been looking to work more towards weaning, she decided that this would be the end of the morning nursings. And the transition is going pretty well. Aidan isn't thrilled when he doesn't have the option of milk with Mama after waking up, but we have been giving him extra warm cocoa and Wonderpets, and he has been doing okay so far.
In other news, Aidan has developed a hilarious new dance that looks something like Irish step-dancing! It is really funny. On Thursday at playgroup, he was listening to Troy sing and play guitare while leaning against the stage in the room, and he just started his new kick moves. It cracks Mama and Daddy up! (Check out the video.) He is also now mimicking "funny faces" that Daddy shows him: he puffs his cheeks out, closes his eyes, and then laughs because he knows he is being silly!
This week started out well, with Daddy coming home from Sweden early enough on Monday afternoon to play with us at the playground. This weekend was very social for us: on Friday night, Mama had a "girls' night out" with some of her friends; on Saturday, after going to Children's Museum with Aidan in the morning, we had Aidan's friend Cira's family over for dinner (ahi & spinach pasta - yum!); and Sunday after church we went over to Aidan's friend Rowan's family's house for lunch. It was fun! Cira and Aidan did a great job of sweeping and mopping up the house after dinner Saturday (check out the video). And on Sunday night, Daddy told Aidan to say, "please, ma'am, can I have some more?" at dinner time, and Aidan looked brightly up at Mama and said, "Pease, ma'am!" - it was adorable!
