aidan aidan aidan aidan aidan

i can't remember if i've said already that aidan's comfort object is my right earlobe. two weeks ago on a particularly wild ear-tugging session i touched my aching earlobes and was surprised that the right one felt much different from the left. i looked in the mirror and, to my horror, my right ear is in fact now longer than my left ear. vanity has set in and i'm now trying to get aidan to stop. whenever he reaches for my ear i tickle him and he thinks it's all fun and games. i guess i'll just have to wear my hair down more often!

he said a funny thing tonight as i was putting him to sleep. he said, "mommy, my tummy hurts. i need that bayer back and body medicine so my tummy will feel better. not the white medicine but the one with the colors on top." hmmm...he must have seen a commercial that i missed; and everytime he says something witty like that i think "how clever this little son of mine is". as for some extremely lovely words...this morning we were going downstairs and i said to him, "let's go, my love" and he turned to me and said, "not my love, mommy, my heart. i'm your heart, right?" sometimes i don't know where he gets his words and ideas but what he said almost made me cry. i'm so lucky to have him in my life. *sniff*
