Just a Few Stories About my Boys.
First of all, the other day while I was cuddling Aiden in his room he pointed in the direction of his radio and said, “Children up there.” Now I for one was slightly confused, first of all, when did he learn the word children, and second of all, there were nothing even remotely resembling children in that general direction. While relating this story to my mom she mentioned that maybe he was “seeing” his brothers and sisters through a veil into Heaven that hasn’t completely closed yet. On that same topic, he also said, ” Daddy up there.” The other day and I of course started worrying about Brandon and had he been seriously hurt while subbing (I was thinking school shooting, because that seems to have been in the news a lot in these more recent years). After texting Brandon and receiving an all is well, I just shrugged it off. But again when I mentioned it to my mom she said that perhaps Aiden was talking about his Heavenly Father rather then his earthly father.
Lastly, once in awhile Aiden while playing here at home, Aiden will say, “Go home?” I always just tell him that we are home. When I told my mom this strange occurance she said that I used to do that too and that being so new from Heaven we probably remember our “other” home and how wonderful it was and that we maybe miss it a little bit. How special to have those Heavenly memories lingering in a young child’s mind for a little while and how unfortunate when those beautiful memories finally fade and all we have left are the things we learn about Heaven, the nature of our Heavenly Parents and Brother Jesus, and the spirit that tries to help us to recognize these things as 100% true. Please don’t get me wrong though, these few things are precious to have in a tumultuous world such as this, but oh what I wouldn’t give for a brief glimpse into Heaven every once in awhile.
Now for a brief story about Lucas (I know crazy, he isn’t even born yet.) the other day I was attempting to listen for Lucas’ heartbeat through a stethoscope (you are supposed to be able to around 6 months preggo) and when I was pushing down on my stomach with it he pushed against it with precision and force. It made me giggle how apparent it was that he did not appreciate me invading his space.
Lastly, my mom told that I should write down some of the mischief that Aiden get’s into so that he can read it years from now and say to me, “I didn’t really do that did I.” So here goes, on the 18th of December we had one of those days where Aiden was getting into everything. First he got into the box of tissues that we keep near the couch and pulled out about 10 of them. After I cleaned that up I found him a little while later with a manila envelope full of papers that are my dad’s. Shortly after that I came into the room to discover that he had gotten one of his snowboots from our “keep out of Aiden’s reach” location and had put it on and was tromping around the living room in it. *sigh* In the afternoon during his nap he managed to reach a roll of tape that I had been keeping on top of his dresser and pulled out 2-3 feet of it and had it all tangled and then threw it on the floor. All in one day, when it rains it pours I guess.
Also, some of the new things we have gotten Aiden to say are, “paddywhack (you know like knick knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone), cockledoodledoo, and yesterday when I spilled some crackers I said, “Oh my goodness.” and Aiden chimed back, “Oh goodness.” LOL. Well, I hope that you have enjoyed my stories. Have a good Christmas Eve everyone and an even more wonderful Christmas Day.
