It is difficult to focus on anything for extended periods of time. The boy is pretty much mobile. He will find any item and rip into it. Moments ago I saw him grab a bag of nacho chips that had been on a window sill. He managed to in a period of four seconds pick up the back and shake it.

By the time I was standing and halfway across the room, the bag was inverted and the floor was covered in chips. Everywhere. Of course you look up and the boy has a gleam of pride in his eyes.

It’s interesting. Maybe it’s because I’ve changed him at least 400 times (Yes that number is probably an accurate estimation).. but I get surprised when people think that Aiden is a girl. To me.. he’s pretty much “all boy.”

(stepped away from this post for a moment)

Make that 401. And OMG! I’m so happy we’re feeding him 8-{

We are trying to begin boxing the condo for the eventual move to the yet to be discovered house.

aiden_freeman managed to get into a box yesterday. On top of the box was some medication I have. Inside the box was most of our CD collection.

At first I didn’t really pay attention to him putting his hand into the box and pulling out CDs. It was amusing because he found one blue jewel box he liked. He accidentally dropped it back in and then rummaged for it. He actively was trying to sort thru the CDs to find the jewel box he’d dropped.

After a while he wandered over to shimmeringjemmy with the loot he’d found. In one hand… A copy of “Dark Side of the Moon.” In the other… the pill tube.

Floyd and Pills. Gotta start ’em early I guess :-0

Now had it been Dark Side and a copy of “Wizard of Oz”… then I’d really be scared.

So, the telephone we have is a remote receiver.

I saw aiden_freeman pull it off the table just now. It makes beeping sounds when you press buttons.

I figured… Okay… Might as well pull it away before he…

I look at it..

0113448.. Oh good he was on his way to dialing Pamplona, Spain.

Knew he was gonna be a risk taker.

And they say your kids run up your phone bill

It was bound to happen

shimmeringjemmy was changing aiden_freeman this morning.

Aiden has decided that this is no longer an activity he wants to help with and would rather use it as an opportunity to be elsewhere.

As a result, we have taken to trying to engage him to distract him from changing time.

Sometimes it is games and sounds, sometimes it is just pinning his shoulders down (in a gentle, parental manner), usually it is talking.

Today’s morning talk from shimmeringjemmy didn’t quite go as planned.

“Free the crotch. Free the crotch.

It’s sort of like ‘Free Willy’, but not really.”

(pause)…

I start to laugh like a puerile teen-ager.

“Okay… maybe it’s exactly like ‘Free Willy’

I am down for the count.

That is all.

Oh… um.. enjoy 😉
