Who’s The Boss?
In our continuing effort to secure our places as the ruling members of the household we occasionally remind Aiden that mom and dad are the boss. Despite these efforts Brandon had the following experience while I was gone scrapbooking for a few hours. Aiden came up to him, looked him dead in the eyes, and pointing to himself cheerfully said, “Boss.” While Brandon thought this was cute he again reaffirmed his authority as the boss. He told him, “Dad’s the boss.” To which Aiden replied, “No.” Then Brandon said, “Dad’s the boss and mom’s the boss but Aiden is not the boss.” Aiden just smiled like he knew better and walked away.
Later that same day he pointed at himself and said, “Daddy.” Then he pointed at Brandon and said, “Aiden.” I think we have a silly one on our hands.
Today I told my dad, “See you later” as he left the house and Aiden, quick to chime in repeated, “See you later.” in his own little toddler voice. Kids learn so quickly it astounds me!
