Fall Proof Bootays Stuffed With Charmin and NO MORE BABIES!
1. Emerson will now walk across the den, pause, clap for herself with a "yaaaay!" turn, and start all over again. She is so close to walking all the time! Hands. Full. CONSTANTLY. I found her playing in the toilet the other day. See ya mom! (That's a wave in the left) I feel like I should stuff her bottom with toilet paper like that old Charmin commercial. She takes quite a few hits daily...
2. Aiden promptly informed me this morning that he "Doesn't want another baby."
Me: Well, sweetie, there's kind of a no return policy on babies.
Aiden: No! Not another baby!
Poor kid. He's so screwed. Can't really blame him. It's tough being the oldest! It's time to involve him in the nursery designing process...(He doesn't want his playroom taken away)
3. Earlier this week, we were watching Spongebob (yes, people, we watch spongebob...I do realize this is a major supposed faux pas on our part, but if this is my worst mistake as a mother, then so be it. The show is absolutely hilarious...) and Emerson pointed at the screen and exclaimed "PONBOB!"
Yesterday, she pointed at Chloe and said "Dooooaaaawwwwwwgggg" I didn't get it at first, and thought she was saying duck. I finally exclaimed "Oh! Dog!!!" and she returned my excitement with a squeal and "Dooooaaaawwwwwwgggg Yaaaayyyyy!" I felt as though I were being commended for getting something right...
4. (Shamefully) I received a brief spanking and a "NO MOMMY" last night from Aiden. It was warranted. In a hormonally surged argument I raised my voice to Daddy. I was therefore punished by the argument police.
5. Aiden's girlfriend Avery (And Emmy's boyfriend Braden) came over for dinner on Tuesday night. We joked the entire time that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. {I will let Jamey expound later, if she wishes, on what Avery told her grandmother} but yesterday, coming home from preschool I was making small talk with Aiden:
Me: Who came to your house last night?
Aiden: Avery.
Me: You had so much fun, didn't you?
Aiden: Yes...we played a game...and ran around...and...(insert 3 y.o. gibberish here.)
Me: Is Avery your ggggiiiiirrrrrlllllllfffrrrrriiiieeeeennnnnddddd?
Aiden: (quite promptly) No. I have another girlfriend.
Me: (surprised.) Really? Who?
Aiden: My mommy is my girlfriend.
-----------
Melt. My. Heart. Stay like that forever kid! Even to the point where you are thereby socially retarded and never date. (Until I want grandchildren, that is....)

That's too stinkin' cute! "My mommy is my girlfiend". Think he'll still say that when he's a teenager? :)
What a sweetie Aiden is! Loved that last part.
Emerson looks so cute in those pictures.
I like the picture of Emerson in mid fall with her hair flying upward!
We had fun the other night. Avery will be sad to know that she is not Aiden's girlfriend. :)
Emerson's walking! Yay!!!!! I love how you got the action shot of her falling. :-)
Aiden will be so embarassed when he's a teenager when you're telling his girlfriend that he said you were his girlfriend. I love it.
Congratulations on having smart and gifted children, unlike mine... Anna Kate didn't start walking until 16 months! good grief! You ROCK Emerson! So sweet that Aiden wants you to be his girlfriend!
