Storytelling Santa

Storytelling Santa at the library. Aidan's sitting up front all by himself! (he's all the way to the right in the white longsleeve with blue short sleeve over it)

Holy crap. My little boy is growing up so fast. Tonight Sean took him to the library for Storytelling Santa. He sent me this picture and I did a double take before realizing Aidan was sitting up front all by himself. Crazy! Sean said he walked right up there and sat near (later was moved onto) a carpet square. Then he sat the entire time while Santa read a couple of books. Once Santa was done reading the kids were instructed to line up to visit with Santa and Aidan got right in line. Sean joined him in line and took a few pics while Aidan sat on Santa's lap. He even gave Santa a high five before heading home but of course after playing in the children's section. How stinking cute is my kid?

Now, where was I during this you ask? Trying to get my butt in shape, literally. I've been doing pilates once a week and I love it. Thursday nights have been busy lately and with the holidays coming up the next couple of Thursday classes are cancelled. So tonight I tried out a Yoga fusion class (yoga/pilates/light hand weights) with a different instructor. First of all, holy moly yoga is wayyyyyyyyy different. Second of all, Pilates is so much better. Or at least I think so. I used muscles I didn't realize I had and stretched in ways I didn't think possible. Anyway, it was fun and maybe I'll go again next Tuesday. Is it possible to get more in shape for a New Years Eve wedding in one week, the one week where Christmas happens to fall? Maybe if I just starve myself for the next couple of days and a few days after Christmas I'll be okay. Yeah right, I love food way too much to do that. Spanx here I come!!! :-)

Oh, another thing about Aidan...I have to say his sense of humor lately is hilarious. For instance, he has a rocket arm for an almost 20 month old and sometimes he stands just a little too close to mommy when he throws things. And well, sometimes mommy flinches. He thinks it is the funniest thing. Or how about when I drop said thrown item...another funny thing for him to laugh at. It's funny how he knows when to laugh at things before other people laugh now. Before he could read cues, but now he just laughs when he thinks something is funny, and most of the time it is, well, except when flying objects are headed right for my face. Not so funny then Mr. Aidan.

My thoughts on life right now:
My kid is hilarious.
Christmas is going to be so fun this year!
Must open new camera tomorrow!!!
Congrats to Cait for getting a varsity uniform for basketball this year! Now go be assertive!

Snow fun!



We had an awesome time out in the snow today. It didn't last very long, but it was fun. After getting all bundled up I pulled Aidan down the street in his sled. We returned back home and made daddy take a break from shoveling to play with us for a bit. We had to clear a space in the front lawn so Aidan could even walk since most of the snow is just about as tall as he is! He wasn't so sure about all of it at first, but once he got the hang of walking in the snow suit he seemed to enjoy it. After playing in the snow, the only way to get him inside without having a fit thrown was to tell him he could get a shower. He was happy to get inside and undressed. Before I could get all my layers and boots off he was upstairs standing in the shower. All I could do was crack up laughing at him. After a nice, warm shower we enjoyed some lunch where he fell asleep in the high chair before he was even done. So cute!

My thoughts on life right now:
Snow is more fun with a little one around.
Snow day tomorrow!!! Woohoo!!!
I can't wait for Christmas to see Aidan's reactions!

best way to find the lights to shovel them out was to turn them on! :-)
