An update on life.....

Well, well, well. What a month. We now have a dog. We have had our family dog, Meko for about 2 weeks or so now. We also don't have the room. Long story. So, we are looking for a home for him. We have had him for 12 years so the idea of getting rid of him is very sad. Aidan loves playing with him and every time he get's up from nap or in the morning he always ask's where the dog is by saying "daaaa" his word for dog. I hate to take Meko away from him because he so enjoys Meko, but it's stressing me out.

On other things. Aidan has more recently started to enjoy playing by himself and alone for extended periods of time. This is such a blessing for me because I can get something done while he is "making me coffee" or "making me a meal" on his kitchen. Currently he is giggling in the other room at the dog. I love his laugh! He was at his Grandparents tonight because John and I had something and ended up falling asleep at 8pm!! That's about an hour early. He woke up when we left, and well, doesn't want to go to bed now. Poor John has to be at work around 4am tomorrow. So, Aidan and I are playing in his room or rather he is running everywhere making sure the dog has food and that the dog is entertained. He even loves taking MY pots and pans out of our cupboards!! Silly boy.

His speech is starting to improve and he is picking up new words every day. Although the frequency of tantrums is increasing as well. Oh well. The life of a 2-year-old. He is absorbing everything in his little world these days. He LOVES going outside and jumping in the mud puddles. In fact the other day he was SOAKING wet! I would have taken a picture but he was cold and wet and crying because he didn't want to come home. He hates to come inside. We both can't wait until the summer when the weather is nicer and we can spend a lot of time outside. Well, he is being silly and brought me headphones to put on. I think I might try my hand at getting him back to sleep. Wish me luck. Until next time.....
