Aidan's world

I had forgotten the imaginations that little boys have. Aidan continually reminds me of a little guy in a cape I used to know... He has such an active imagination. We went down to the river and he "fished" for a long time. He kept telling me what the fish looked like and how big it was.
Later I asked him to tell someone what we say at the river. The conversation went something like this:

Mommy: What did we see at the River?
Aidan: Amnimals
Mommy: What kind of animals did you see?
Aidan: (thinks a bit) Lions!

HA! I guess in his little head they were there.

Yesterday we went to Whole Foods where Aidan ate "Lepard" meat balls... His first choice was horse. (sigh) I suppose I should be thrilled that he is not a picky eater....

Today he decided that he wanted "Waterlemon" for lunch. I think my favorite part of having a two year old is the words he says. He wanted a "big waterlemon" and ate 4 pieces. The best part is the way he enuncates all his words, so it comes out "Wa Ter Lem on" too cute.

Cookie fun

A few days ago it rained... Of course we needed something to do that didn't involve taking Oliver, Push, and Mix outside. So w made cookies. Aidan got to sit on the counter and "dump" the ingredients into the mixer (go 'round rrrr). He enjoyed licking the paddle and scooping the dough on to the cookie sheet. He stood by the over and watched the cookies bake (watch out Hot! Hurt you) then he helped count the cookies as we flipped (lip!) them onto a towel (to Let Cool). After all that fun when I gave him one to try he spit it out and asked for blueberrys. Oh well...More for me.

Calamari Fun!

I continue to be surprised at the variety of foods Aidan eats. Every time I think he's not going to like something he surprises me. Cooking with Aidan is a riot. He's thrilled to push buttons, stir and mix ingredients and "taste it!" He pulls a chair over to the counter and watches everything. His favorite food word is spicy. He say "picey"
Today we made calamari for dinner. He enjoyed watching the entire process and decided we were eating octopus. Of course he had to taste some. Tasting quickly became eating lots of "ocpus" with dip no less.

I just had to take some pictures of this new food experiance. (See below) Lest anyone think Aidan is not pickey allow me to state the following:
Hot dogs must be served plain- no bun and only catsup for dip
Bread must have lemon curd on it
All food must be at the propper temperature or he won't eat it- even after it cools
