I had a lot of fun at church this morning. We have been singing lots of Christmas songs (I love them!), and today, I looked down to see both Kiana AND Aidan singing right along! Kiana's caroling went more along the lines of "ya ya ya, ya ya ya", while Aidan had more of a tune, despite not knowing the words; but BOTH of them were wonderful! After the service when we picked up the kids from Sunday school, we found out that Aidan is going to be a shepherd in the Christmas pageant next Sunday!!! We are very excited! :)
I was also highly entertained at about dawn this morning. Aidan woke up at about 5:00AM, and before I put him back to bed, he told me, quite matter-of-factly (and out of the blue), that "our planet is good because it's not too close and not too far fro the sun. AND it has BUILDINGS and houses and apartments! Isn't that right, Mama?"
AIDAN:
- Aidan is now calling us "Mom" and "Dad." Alex doesn't mind, but I am sad: I thought I wouldn't make that transition until he was quite a bit older! Fortunately, he does still call me "Mama" and "Mommy" every other time or so. :)
- Clarified his toothbrushing practices to me this week, concluding that "That's just how I do it - in my WHOLE life!"
- On a playdate with Cira this weekend read her almost an entire book by himself! His reading is really amazing!
KIANA
- This morning, Kiana asked me for a blue straw to drink her milk with! I was giving her a yellow one, and she said "no - boo". Then, when I exchanged the straw, she was happy!
- Has been doing new words this week, especially "weee!!!!", "wa wa" (water /agua), and "eeee" (for "please!").
- Believes that superheros, lions and dogs all roar. Whenever she sees any of these, in real life or in pictures, she roars right back!
- Is *very* into washing dishes and playing in the sink. It makes cooking dinner great - she is totally entertained nearby. But it inevitably creates a giant puddle on the floor! Ah well. That's what towels are for!
