Have I mentioned that I think Aidan is pretty smart? There are a ton of reasons, but at the top of the list lately is probably his sense of humor.
Funny story…Saturday night the family walked down to the Mercer Island Fire Station for the annual Mercer Island Christmas tree lighting and community gathering. They were going to light the tree in Mercerdale Park and the firefighters were going to be showing the trucks to kids. Christmas goodies and hot drinks to be served. Except…
That Mom got the night wrong! Don’t ask me why on earth I thought the 5th was a Saturday and not a Friday. But I blame it entirely on Mommybrain. Does that give me a pass? 
On the way home, I suggested we stop at the Starbucks and get Aidan a hot chocolate. We sat inside by the fire and he thoroughly enjoyed it. During one sip, he began doing the swishing thing that kids like to do with drinks sometimes. I told him politely to swallow it. He smiled devilishly at me and kept swishing. I said, “Aidan this is NOT a game! Swallow it.”
He smiled again and Brandon told him to do what Mommy said. So Aidan swallowed the cocoa and dealt out the following gem.
“Mommy, it IS a game.” And he smiled ear to ear.
Brandon looked at me and simply said, “Mommy, you got served!”
hey I have not even read your post but my sister just called me and told me that AC moore had a 40 percent off Tomas the TRain stuff. So I thought of you. My little nephew is 2 years old too. He just got on the phone with me and told me he wanted to come over and take a tub at my house. I recently got a tub that bubbles and he thinks that is the best thing ever. Good luck with you shopping.
