Aidan loves to rummage through my drawers filled with hair clips (mainly because some have robotic potential) and yesterday he took a couple of my headbands and played karate guy. Here's a cute picture:

Now we all know that Aidan is super-lovable and lots of fun but there are times when I feel like I need a little peace and quiet during the day. We usually wake up around 9 AM so he rarely wants to take a nap anymore. I do make him nap when I know that we'll be out in the evenings and today was one of those days. So there I was telling him, "C'mon, you better close your eyes. You have to go to sleep." And there he was lying on top of my stomach, one hand tugging at my right ear, the other hand pinching my lips shut and he was wiggling around singing "booties, booties, booties." It took him a whole hour to finally sleep! Then as I watched him I thought how life would be so boring without him and I kiss his little hand.
