Well, school is finally out!!!! Now, I can spend some time with my family! One of my first tasks is to post a blog update on the kids.
Aiden has been his usual ham self lately. It seems almost every day, he says something ridiculous that seems like it should be in a book somewhere. Some of his latest and greatest are: "It's better to be bad (this was his response after I tried to explain to him the importance of being good", "Elly and I have little teeny tiny boobies that you can't see underneath your shirt, Daddy has medium boobies" and Mommy has big boobies", and "I can't wait till Elly turns into a boy!" He also has swimming on the brain. The other day he air swam through the living room saying, "I am pretend swimming to go get a Pop Tart" and yesterday he wanted me to carry him over to a display in Best Buy as he air swam.
Aiden is in love with Transformers right now. Bumblee is his favorite. He calls the Decepticons "bad guys." Last night he was outside with a dead palm tree fan hitting the dogs with it saying he was a Decepticon and the dogs were bad guys. Now, of course I stopped him, but it still was funny. Aiden still is all boy and loves to play. He loves to be outside or if he is inside he loves to pretend. He still adores Lightning McQueen and anything related to vehicles. I like that he is sort of an old fashioned kid who doens't sit around all day playing video games! On a side note: he still follows Cider around relentlessly and insists on "playing with Doo Doo" at all times. Doo Doo does not approve.
Elly. What can I say? She is a princess. Her latest discovery are the phrases, "I want or I need." It started about a week ago when we were coming inside and she cried, "I want to play!" The next day on the way home in the car it was, "Mommy I want to eat!" The last few days it has been either I want.... or I need ..... Yesterday, it was I need coocoo (cookie). She still loves her shoe shoes and screams for them if she feels she should have a pair on. She follows Aiden around everwhere, which annoys Aiden to no end. Aiden says, "I hate Elly" (which we did explain was not nice, but he is just expressing his frustration I imagine). Elly is tall and thin. She is gorgeous despite her one totally crooked front tooth from her index finger sucking (which I imagine gives her character). Both of my kids are tall, thin, blond and blue eyed. I am not sure half the time that they are even mine!!!!!!
Swimming - The pool is open! The kids are both doing well. I had my coworker friend and her older kids over the other day and Aiden did a great job mimicking the big kids and got a whole lot braver in the pool. He was jumping and splashing and some of the fear seemed to dwindle. Daddy took Elly in a few weeks ago just to carry her around and she loved it!!!! So, I went and got her her own pool gear so she could truly try to swim. Elly did great her first time in not being held. She was in a vest and floaties (totally covered in flotation) and she was trying to swim like crazy and happy as a clam. The next 2 times we took her in though, she screamed and was not happy. She was sick though, so I am thinking it was that and not the pool.
Attached are recent photos of the kids. The "red shiny shoes" are a favorite of Aiden and his sister. They both have been caught wearing them around the house. If you're interested in buying a pair, they are by Anne Klein. :) Aiden was jealous when I took the picture, so I snapped one of him. It's a few days before his hair cut.... He is so calm and cute now during haircuts. I can't believe it's the same kid that used to have to be restrained!
