Everybody Ought to Have a Body, a Body is the Only Way to Go!
Hello again! As usual my memory is a wee bit foggy about the events of the week but I do remember a few highlights. I may struggle to remember things once again because I have not purchased a new day planner and my old one ended with December 31st. Anyway, here are the weeks highlights!
Thursday Aiden and I went to my grandma’s to scrapbook. It was a lot of fun and a hustle bustle of activity. I was able to get some stuff done while Aiden slept but once he woke up I ended up following him around to keep him out of trouble. 😉
Friday I finally got to watch the movie the I had been unable to pick up for viewing on New Years Eve. It is called Ballet Shoes. Emma Watson from Harry Potter was in it and it was super cute. It is definitely a chick flick though so don’t try and convince your man to watch it with you. The other major highlight of the day is that I found a good deal on flights to Florida and as such bought our plane tickets to go and visit my sister in March. I am so stinking excited, I LOVE Disney World and I have been wanting so bad to see my sisters house! I am sure Aiden will not really understand what is going on but will enjoy having so much to see and explore that he will not nap very well in his stroller while we are at the parks. I am just going to have to recognize that it will be a crazy week and do my best to ecourage naps in order to keep Aiden from being grumpy.
Saturday was the funnest day all week. My mom got a gift card to Macy’s that she wanted to spend on me. I ended up finding some really good deals and then found out they were even better when I got to the register. On top of that I found this really cute black dress with white a white collar and white around the hem and sleeve holes. It has purple flocking on it with crowns, teapots, clovers, hearts, and diamonds. It made me so excited because it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and I have always wanted an Alice in Wonderland dress. If I can’t be Alice at least I can pretend sometimes. 😉 So there you have something you probably didn’t know about me. It is very exciting to have a long time dream come true in a way. Anyway, my mom and I had a lot of fun. She is so busy these days that I don’t see her as often as I’d like and so it is super fun when I do get to see her. We also went to lunch at Fazoli’s. YUM!
During the day Aiden started doing this funny breathing through his nose thing. It cracked me up because it is something my sister used to do when she was little. Luckily we caught it on film and will post it this week sometime. He also has officially mastered the use of a straw. He has only had water and juice through a straw but this will make things easier in the event that we forget a sippy cup. So for those of you who are wondering about my blog title, Aiden learning to do things with his body is the reason I chose it. He thinks it is so fun to try new things.
In the evening Brandon, Aiden, and I went to the home where my friend Katie has been staying while she visits from Nevada for a game night. It was fun to see the gals that I haven’t seen for awhile and to get updates from the gals that I see fairly regularly. I have been especially excited lately to be back in touch with my long lost friend Katie M. She is always so cheerful and silly and it is a lot of fun. I also found out that a friend of mine is pregnant with baby #3. I am super excited for her! I also received from the library and started to read, “Forever Princess.” The last book in the Princess Diaries series. I am glad to report that it ended happily but that these books are definitely not appropriate for teenage girls. (By the series end all of the characters had been intimate and they are in HIGH SCHOOL! OI! Not to mention this last book had excerpts from the romance novel that Princess Mia had written and well romance novels tend to be very explicit.) Anyway…
Sunday we ended up staying from church because Aiden was so late getting to bed and I wanted him to be able to sleep. It was a relaxing day we straightened up the house because my dad came home from his trip last night and we watched a nice sunday appropriate film, “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.” Yes, yes, we are veggietale fans and Aiden isn’t even old enough to watch them. Can you blame us? They are so wholesome and silly that they just beg to be loved.
Also, Aiden is now officially binkyless. It wasn’t a very tough week and he seems to realize now that he won’t be getting it back. There were no breakdowns or hours of crying. Just a little longer to fall asleep, a few days of seperation anxiety, and that was it. Phew. I had prepared myself for much worse then that and didn’t expect it to be over so quickly. Thank goodness. (He does still have Rabbit and fuzzy blankey so I’ll bet that is what made the transition so smooth.) He is growing so fast.
Well, thats our news for the week. I promise to be more detailed next time. Oh and hubby will be at school all week. This is officially his LAST semester at the U of U! HOORAY! Oh and I’d like to note that he did pass all of his classes last semester so he is still on track to graduate in May. So, until next time, thanks for reading…
