Aidanisms

Reading his scriptures before bed in his pajamas and, of course, soccer shin guards.

Nathan took the kids to a YM activity where they were having a "Music Appreciation" night, ie playing their respective instruments and Guitar Hero. Aidan loves all things musical. He loved the drums and is constantly asking for a real guitar or violin.

Just Aidan in a rare quiet moment.

Aidan to Nathan: "Daddy, when are you going to shabe your whispers?" (whiskers on his face)

Aidan to me: "Mom, I have a shield and a lightsaver and I'm gonna fight you!" (light saber)

Aidan begins almost every phrase with either "Weeeeelll.... or Ackchually"

He can count pretty well and recognize larger numbers but when telling his aunt Melanie what the numbers were on a page instead of saying 22 and 23, he pronounced them "tooty-two and tooty-free." Makes sense to him, the numbers do start with a two...

When the little girls in his primary class were playing with the lights, he walked over to his teacher and said in all seriousness, "don't worry, if the lights get dark I'll protect you." how sweet is that!

shut the door becomes "shutted the door."

The other day I was reclining in my bed, reading a book, and Aidan was talking my ear off, as usual. I swear, that kid can talk for hours asking question after question without waiting for an answer and hardly pausing to breathe. It gets very annoying especially when I'm trapped in my bed while elevating my foot and he knows I can't go anywhere. It's cruel, cruel I tell you!

Anyway, I was trying my best to ignore him when I felt two little hands gently touch my pinky finger, that wasn't holding on to the book and then I felt him pressing it to his face. I glanced over and he's watching me with an evil gleam in his eyes as he slowly starts lowering his left nostril over and onto my finger!!! Gross!!!!!! I, of course, yell, "sick! gross!" and bop him in the forehead. All the while he's just laughing and dancing around. Little goober.

Aidan calls our next door neighbor Brick because her name is Brooke.

There are many more funny, crazy, gross, and annoying things that he does but like on any test when I'm trying to remember certain information, I invariably come up blank.

I truly love this little boy; he keeps me laughing all day long and he tells me, at least 20 times a day that he loves me.
