I know I keep posting about Aiden lately, but the kid is just so funny! He's at that age where he's learning new words all the time, and we're constantly laughing at the things that he comes up with. I feel so lucky to be his mom. :)
So he's invented his own suffix....he now adds -ree onto the end of a lot of words. We don't know why. But stickers are "stick-ree" pumpkins are "pump-ree" pants are "pants-ree" potatoes are "tay-ree" No it's not just with "p" words, I just happened to think of a lot of "p" examples at the moment. Who knows what the boy will come up with next?!
Wally has been telling him about snow lately. He told him about making snowballs and throwing them at Mommy and his sisters. So this morning, when we awoke to snow falling, he kept yelling "MAKE BALLS! MAKE BALLS!" We had to tell him that we can't make snowballs yet, there is not enough snow on the ground....it just melted right away. We told him when there's a lot of snow and the ground is white, THAT'S when we can "make balls!" LOL
The word "my" is interchangeable with "me" or "I," He'll say "my turn!" but also if he wants to do something "My do that!" or "My want that" or sometimes simply "My do!" (rather than "I do!")
He's constantly asking us "What you doin?" He loves to watch me cook and comes into the kitchen with his step-stool and says "What you cook, Mama?" LOVES to help unload the dishwasher!
He used to always call Julia "Ya-ya!" but now is saying "Jew-ya" quite well. He can say Lexie, but it's kind of garbled. He still mostly calls her "Woo woo" or "Yoo-bee" because we're always calling her Lulu or Looby (as in "Here we go Looby Lou")
He is still really into fruit, especially grapes and strawberries ("Gapey's! Strah-
beez!") He also loves gummy bears (gumby bears) with a passion. His daddy's gotten him interested in Cocoa Puffs, but he usually only takes a bite or two out of Wally's bowl. He's not asking for his own. Yet. He calls cupcakes "pupcakes" and french fries "dench ryes" Geez, it sounds like all we feed him junk, but I promise he eats healthy meals! He eats chicken, beef, pork, mashed potatoes, rice, peas, corn, broccoli, and bread. Loads of other stuff too. But for some reason, he can say all of those things pretty well. It's the junk food he can't pronounce! I went to the store tonight and got a few things. When I came back, he helped me carry in the bags, which he loves doing. He saw the bag of grapes and yelled "Gapey's!! Dat for when my wake up" Wally and I laughed so hard!
He's doing really well on the potty. We're on week 3 of being in underwear all day at school, and he's averaging about 1-3 accidents per day. I'm pretty impressed with that. But if he wets himself, you have to change him IMMEDIATELY! He has always hated his clothes being wet, so he completley flips out if he's wet. "My wet! Change me! Change me! CHANGE ME MAMA!!" (or Dada, whoever is closer!) It's kind of a pain, but I think the hatred of wet clothes is speeding up the process of potty training. His teachers are phenomenal and are doing such a good job with him.
Ok, I've bragged about my boy enough tonight. I'll have to dedicate posts to each of the girls in the next week or so too. They're all such amazing kids.
This is Aiden's very favorite thing to do...."BUMPY CARS!"
