Perfect Child

Sunday I took Aiden on a little adventure with me to the bookstore. He got to play with the trains and lego tables while Mommy checked out some new books. He was perfect told me every time he needed to go potty (always worry about that on long trips out). I found the best book for Brody (Mommy and Daddy) to give Aiden at the hospital. I'm a Big Brother by Ronnie Randall. It was SOOO cute! It's about how a little boy wants to play with his little brother but his little brother wasn't big enough. Then about how his little brother starts to play aka take his trains and the older brother is upset. Then ends with teaching the older brother how he can play with his little brother. Things that I know Aiden will go through. Wes loved it too! Go Mommy!

After the bookstore I had to go pick up Murph some dog food and a few organizing items at Target. Something I rarely do with Aiden because either A. he's wild wanting to run all over the store or B. grabbing everything off the shelf. So I was dreading it, but HAD to go. Murph ran out of food last night....so we pull up. I tell Aiden firmly if you get out of my sight you're butt is back in the cart no questions. If you leave the isle we are on, you're butt is back in the cart no questions. "Yes Momma." And wouldn't you know it he was PERFECT! Didn't even try to grab stuff at the register....seriously hate that stuff. I think they do it to torture Mommies. I was so thankful because Brody was a moving machine today and very low, so my pelvic area was throbbing. So much I made Aiden climb in his car seat, I could barely pick him up.

So when we got home, Daddy took over and we all ate lunch watching Pocahontas. Been forever since I've seen that....did you know Mel Gibson is the voice of John Smith?!?! After lunch we moved to the couches. Aiden wanted to sit in-between my legs, so I ask him if he wanted a pillow his response....."No momma I've got Brody." hahahaha well yes you do. hahaha wow! Things he says.
------------------------------------------------
Monday me and Aiden woke up bright and early and proceeded with our day. Which started off with a bath since we didn't take one the night before. He loves to go "swimming" and hunts for the bar of soap in the water.

Next while Daddy was at work we headed to the Zoo. Aiden was SOOOO excited the whole ride to see the "Ani-malls". I told him like the day before, "if you don't listen to Mommy or try to run far away no matter where we are, how long we've been there we will turn back around and go back home. So you have to be good or no animals." And I meant it. Since I was alone and knew it was going to be hot the last thing I wanted to do was overstretch my limit (woke up with Brody really low and just a pushing on my pelvic bone again).

First stop Cat Country. Aiden loves this exhibit and making Tiger sounds. I let him out of the stroller for a closer look and his little mind was just a working. "Momma whats that." "Momma where did it go" "Momma he's napping." Then we started to walk to the next cat, without me saying a word he grabbed onto the stroller and waved saying "Bye! Bye Tiger!" It was the cutest thing ever. He proceeded to do that every time. (Who is this kid?! 2 days in a row of a perfect child with no whining or pouting?!?! Who are you?!?! lol)

The best good-byes were....Prairie Dogs= "Bye Dogs! Bye!" Cheetah= "Bye Cheetos!" hahaha Cheetos?!

After the cats we went to go ride on a few rides before hopping on the train. I was beginning to get parched so I asked him if he wanted an Icee. "YEAH!!!" Thanks to our souvenir cups it was only $4 to fill both our drinks. By this point we skipped over the birds (not a fan of birds) and headed over to the Farm. I was beginning to get tired, so luckily this part has benches all around so Aiden could wander in the barns and pins by himself but I could still see him. Did I mention it was hot?! And about this time he slipped on a muddy spot getting all dirty, so it was the perfect time to rest, change clothes, and eat lunch. We had already been there for 2 hours. Thank goodness they have buildings where you can eat that are AIR CONDITIONED! Lifesavers!! We barely made a dent in all the exhibits. lol

After we nibbled a little bit it was time to head home, but since I knew we wouldn't be at the fundraiser next weekend and Aiden was being so good we stopped by the Gift Shop. Something we never do. I was looking at the stuffed animals for Brody and told Aiden he could pick out 1 thing. What does he bring me? A 99 cent bag of gummy worms. (I was worried after I said my statement he would pick out something that was like 20 bucks. lol) As I'm driving I'm talking to Aiden, asking what animal did he like the most, if he had fun, etc....no responses. I turn around and see this....

Yup I think it was safe to say he had fun. When we got home Daddy was coming home himself and all 3 of us took an afternoon nap. We had a fun, packed, exhausting weekend. Thank goodness this is a short week.
