Updates and Updates

Where to start. So much has been going on over the last 10 days. I guess chronological order is best. Last Thursday was Aiden's first day at Parent's Day Out (They call it Mother's Day out, but since I am the one at home with Aiden I will call it what I like) all indications are that he had a great time with his first day, he even did well during nap time. We are able to walk to the school from home, it probably takes less time to walk over there with him than it does to get him packed into his car seat, drive over, get him out of the car seat and then inside. So as long as the weather cooperates walking will be the norm. Mommy took the day off so she could go drop Aiden off and pick him up with me for his first day. During the hours he was in school we got a lot of clean up done around the house. Lots to do with the school time. Long list of things that have been "neglected".

On Friday Aiden went up to Indiana to spend a couple of nights with his grand parents. Mommy and Daddy had a date with the local theatre Friday night, so Aiden's mimi and papaw agreed to watch the little one. He had a good time and I will try to post a couple of the videos from mimi's collection at some point.

When Aiden came home on Sunday he found his room rearranged. His crib wasn't there anymore. The book case now sits where his crib was, the desk has moved and in the corner there is a big boy bed. Mommy went out and bought a new bed for him on Friday and we got it put together and ready for him to come home to. Tonight is night 3 on the regular bed and so far so good. He's good at getting up into the bed using his little stairs, but so far seems a bit scared of getting down on his own. Doesn't seem like much of a problem to me, as that means that he won't be wandering around his room at 4am just yet.

Unfortunately, yesterday the little guy came down with a fever. He was not showing any other symptoms of illness, and Tylenol reduced the fever, but it stuck with him throughout yesterday and into this morning. The fever finally broke for good sometime this morning, but since he had been feverish all day yesterday we kept him out of school today. We really didn't want him to miss the second day, but it was safer for everyone, and he was a grumpus anyway most of the morning till he got his energy back this afternoon.

So that's a quick overview of what has been going on. Should have a few new pictures to add soon.

Videos and news

So we have some video to share with you tonight. I hope that blogger lets me load it all fairly quickly as we have several really cute videos to share.

But first... a bit of news! Tonight before bath time, Aiden peed in his potty for the firs time!! We're so proud! It was kind of unexpected, as we always have him sit on the potty when he is getting ready for a bath but he never does anything. tonight he just let it go. WooHoo for progress!

Now for some video entertainment!

Kicking the ball! We were watching pre-season Football, and Aiden decided kicking the ball looked like a lot of fun.

What's a Dinosaur Say?

This may take a parent to understand. But the Book we are looking at is "The Little Engine that Could" The first page of the book goes something like this "Chug Chug Puff Puff Ding Dong. The little train rolled down the track. She was a happy train." Now listen carefully.
