Your roots are showing...

I think my cute little Aiden is going to be brilliant someday. As with lots of brainiacs, I sometimes wonder about his common sense. ;) For example, we went somewhere the other day. We were all getting out of the car, but Aiden started to cry and claimed to be "stuck"! I calmly suggested that he take his jacket off so he could free himself from the seatbelt underneath it! :) Problem solved!

------------------------------

Today on our way to the previously mentioned freezing soccer game, Aiden put a plate on his head that had streamers on it. (It was a rainbow windsock he made at storytime yesterday.) The streamers hung down over his face and he exclaimed, "Mom, I'm BLONDE! I can't see!" I think you mean "blind", buddy, but then again... ha ha

We went to PenRad yesterday to get x-rays on Chase's leg because he's been having some pains and difficulty running. He insisted that he needed his brother by his side. We walked into the lobby and there in the corner was a clear, large glass "cup" proudly displayed with a plaque identifying it as an award for excellence. Aiden was sooooo proud of the employees when he saw it. With a thrilled voice Aiden proclaimed, "MOM! They won the Piston Cup!" (Any Cars fans out there?) He insisted on getting a picture of it! In my defense, I DID try to tell him what it really was, but there was just no convincing him!

He's innocent! ;)

Chase is always saying things that take me a second to process... to make sure he's not saying something "innapropriate". While my friend, Kristy, was in town looking for a place to live (yay! They're moving back!) she came over to visit for a bit. Chase was playing with my cell phone. He'd push a button to make the backlight come on and ask, "Mom, what time is it?" Then he started sticking it under articles of clothing to see if the time would shine through. Upon sticking it under his shorts, he asked, "What time is it in my pants?" Kristy and I laughed enough that we embarrased him and will hopefully not be posing that question to others in the future!

Then today on our way to a f.r.e.e.z.i.n.g. soccer game (it's April in Colorado, what do you expect?!). Visibility was very poor as we were driving. The boys thought I was going to get lost since they couldn't see where we were going... Chase commented, "Mom, I think the fug is in our way." I paused while the shock wore off and I could logically figure out what he really said and not what it sounded like he said. I then replied, "Yes, Chase the FOG is in our way!"
