keeping up

Trying to keep up with Aiden becomes more challenging as each day progresses. He's mastered terms like "Come" "Go" "outside" etc. So he is becoming more adept at letting us know what he wants, and less willing to take No for an answer.

One of his new tricks is to come up and literally try to force us off the couch if we do not immediately get up to follow him when he asks us to "come". Typically this either means he wants us to go outside, or run in circles around the kitchen in a "race".

The golf clubs are still the greatest thing ever. He has gotten pretty adept at taking a full golf swing, he still slams the balls from time to time, but most of the time he uses a half way decent golf swing. Leftie. I dunno how I am going to teach him to golf as a leftie, since daddy is rightie, but we'll figure that out later.

Another new game is the desire to climb into mommy & daddy's bed to watch tv. He will ask us to pick him up and put him in bed, where he begins to play with the bed covers and get his legs tucked in and then ask for either Dora or Elmo.

Trying to work on him not always getting his way, the wails that come out of this child when he doesn't get what he wants are awful, but we need to get him learning that he doesn't always get what he wants, so we have to deal with the decibel level.

We've been bad and haven't taken any pictures this week, so I don't have any to share, but will work on making sure I have some for next time.

Till then!
