Aaron is at that fun age of funny sayings. He's really enjoying being understood more and is talking up a storm. Everyday he makes us laugh at least once a day with the quirky things he says. I need to be better at writing them down but here are the ones I remember. And yes, that is in fact his Spidey Man underwear on his head. He came to show me saying, "Look at me!"
"Trust me." -he used to say this to me whenever he wanted to try something (ie. throw his bouncy ball up to touch the ceiling).
"It's okay. Accidents happen" -whenever the something he tried didn't quite go as planned (ie. the bouncy ball hit my bathroom mirror and knocked all the stuff off the counter).
"It's gonna take forever. (or) That's a long time." -when I ask him to do something (ie. make his bed, clean his room).
"When' you going ' be done?" -when I'm doing something, usually but not always, to him (ie. brushing his teeth, combing his hair).
"Me not happy any you guys!" -this he says as he folds his arms sternly across his chest, bows and turns his head, pouts his lip, furrows his brow, and glares at you from a sideways stare. It's actually the most dramatic, and our favorite!
Olivia- "Aaron stop _____________(hitting, bugging, following) me."
Aaron- "It's my job to ______________(hit, bug, follow) people."
Yesterday I caught Aaron opening the car door.
Me- "Aaron what are you doing?"
Aaron- "Going somewhere."
Me- "Where are you going?"
Aaron- very matter-of-factly "I going t' get a Slurpee."
I am so glad for a son that keeps me smiling. For the first 6 months of life when all he did was cry, what a great turnout. Just now, I had to take a break to help him in the bathroom. He's been potty trained for quite some time now, 5+ months. As I was helping him get his shorts back on he says, "Yeah! No accidents! Yeah! I get candy! I GET CAAANDYYYY!" As he's doing a little dance, pumping his fists in the air.
The other day at Costco he had me in a head-lock trying to get me to look at something he had seen. "See mom, see? Look. Over there." As he's squeezing my face between the palms of his hands and twisting my head.
I love my little boy who asks me to sing him "Teach Me to Walk in the Light", and my new favorite. "Sing me the song when I was a baby." (I am like a Star.) As I start to sing he scrunches up his nose in an attempt to close his eyes, and makes little whimpering noises.
We love you Aaron.
