We're proud parents. Aiden learned the song of the "50, nifty United States and the 13 original colonies."
He starts with the states beginning with the letter "A".. . and goes all the way to the letter... "H". Okay, so he's got a ways to go, but WE are VERY impressed. (As were his teachers!) Just give him one more day, and I bet he'll get all 50 memorized! Place your bets.
Things we're working on: wiping after "pushing" in the potty. Yeah. Todd's almost has it down. Aiden is a great and patient teacher. (just kidding)
So, who's coming over to hear the song?

Thunder Storms
It rained last night. BIG storm. Lasted two hours. The thing is, the storm started simultaneously with Aiden's bedtime.
Aiden and I have talked about lightning "not being scary," and how to tell the thunder to "not be so loud because we can't hear the rain." These tactics didn't work well enough. It's not easy being logical when you're scared.
Aiden cried. Asked for Daddy. Daddy said, "Let's go to Mommy and Daddy's bed tonight."
We usually don't do this. Aiden knows that he's to sleep in his own bed like a big boy. We're lucky in this. But last night was an exception. It was a BIG storm, for goodness' sakes!
The thing about Aiden, he's just like his Daddy: starts sweating with the move of a toe. Since Daddy is too warm, Aiden snuggles close to me. [awwww] So for 9 hours, I get kicked in the head, stomach, ribs; punched in the eye, nose, chest; but I also get my hand held by the sweetest little boy. [awwwww]
Thunder storms: I need to thank God for such a memorable night.

My First Blog
I feel that blogging will be part of my new way of living. I'm getting my thoughts organized. It's nice.
We're currently talking about major life changes at home that will be facilitated through organization. Mami will be moving in soon. We're hoping to move into a bigger home. We're in negotiations for having a second child. We need to orginize our lives and home in order to make these changes smoothly.
I just watched a TiVoed episode of Oprah where an organization specialist helped families get their lives back into order by helping them organize their homes. I see that happening in our lives. http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200702/tows_past_20070207.jhtmlOrganization.
I really need to take advantage of my spring break. Get rid of the old! Don't add any new! We are blessed with quite enough, thank the Lord. I'm excited to get ready for the future.
