The first time Aiden dressed himself. He even went to daycare with the shorts over his jeans. My free-spirited child.

Ice Cream Truck

The ice cream truck drove past our house while Aiden was playing with his friend outside. Steve bought them both ice cream and introduced the ice cream truck to the 2 of them. Now when Aiden hears a ding from inside the car or a cell phone, he thinks it's the ice cream truck. Oh, or when he sees a big, white Fed-Ex truck, he thinks it's an ice cream truck.





The other night we were driving back from dinner and Aiden kept saying, "Ice cream truck." I finally told him the ice cream truck was ni-night. Then he kept saying, "Mama, ice cream truck ni-night." Then, "Mama, mama, mama." I would answer, "What, honey?" Aiden would say, "Ice cream truck, ni-night." He repeated himself so many times that I started to ignore him. We all heard, "Mama, mama, mama, mama. Amy, Amy, Amy." I wasn't answering him, so he started calling me by my name! He's been calling me by my name a lot this week when he wants attention. He threw out a "Steve" this week, too. Little stinker! In Target today he was screaming, "Amy, Amy, Amy."

Daycare Day at the Zoo (May 17)

As a "job well done" to the kids for their school work this last year, the parents and kids at daycare are invited to go to the zoo. It's nice because you get to meet the families of the kids who are with you child every day. For the second year in a row, Daddy was gone fishing, so it was just Aiden and Mommy. Hopefully Daddy will be able to make it next year. We had fun though!
