I wanted to get on here and tell you all about Aidens latest issue that totally tickled us. If you know Aiden he sometimes doesn't think things through all the way before he says what he wants, sometimes it comes out a bit backwards, or very literal context, or wrong words, etc. He has in his short time alive, given us so many laughs, due to his interpretation of what he has heard or seen or thinks he understands. He definitely is good for a million laughs. Anyways, he started complaining Saturday night of his stomach hurting (a cramping, slightly nauseating, sharp pain) not necessarily a stomach virus, just inconsistent pain? He wasn't going to go to school on Monday because it seemed to hurt most when he was up and about. However, later in the morning he called me and asked me to take him to school because he felt the house was making him sick, thought he just needed to get out and occupy his mind. After school he still feels OK, so he goes to his buddies down the street, but comes in crying after he has asked the parents to bring him home, as the pain has returned. he proceeds to tell me that "Jordan's mom said they had this Bug but it only lasted about 12 hours" a minute later, between sobs, he says "man I must have just got bit too many times by that bug".
I wish I had archived all the great things that have come out of his mouth!
We are actually ready for Christmas early this year. We usually do all shopping the last payday before Christmas. This has made for many of cram shopping trips on Christmas eve in the past! It feels nice to be done, considering the fiasco we barely skimmed through last year.
It was Christmas eve and Daniel and I still had stocking stuff to buy. Time slipped away from us and after wrapping all of the presents (way too many) we realized it was almost 1 am. We rush out to the local Wal-mart super center (that is always open), just to find that it closes on Christmas eve?!?!?! Who knew? We panicked!! We drove all the way to Branson Mo, (about 35 miles away) to the Kmart that was barely still open. We didn't even consider the Walgreen's right down the street. Oh well, we vowed not to do that again. We thought we had ruined Christmas. Despite all the gifts, it always seems the stockings are our families favorite part. I think it must be because so much thought and personalization goes into the little things. Wouldn't it be nice if the Christmas celebration went back to that simpleness. Aside from the true reason for the season, I mean!
I truly love everything about this time of the year. The weather, the lights, the feelings, and especially the music. I have acquired a few more Christmas albums this year. This is not new to me I always get at least 1 new album. However, this year I had to have more, as it seems the local radio stations have been very sparse on playing the seasonal stuff, and I'm finding that it really gets on my nerves to have to listen to regular music during this season. I'm forced to listen to regular music the entire rest of the year, would it be too much to mix it up a bit, for a few months out of the year? Although it is also not out of the ordinary for me, to pop in some Christmas music at any random time in the year, just for a little jingle jangle happy time. So now I have a great stock, that is now a little better, to put on shuffle and get me through all my wearisome travels during the day.
By the way, Aidens stomach issue has since resolved, with out any true diagnosis. As far as I can tell, Aiden may have accidentally eaten some foam from a Nerf dart he was innocently chewing it up, while Daniel and I were Christmas shopping. He's not quite sure how much he may have eaten, but all the plumbing is working well and the pain is gone, so maybe a lesson was learned?
