Conversations With a 3.5 Year Old

We are now in the phase where Aidan tries everything in the book to stay up later at night. I don't know where the energy comes from.  We have cut out his nap during the day {that may change} so he will be exhausted come 8ish but NO! he is still full of energy. 

Tonight I put him to bed at 8:30 {go me} and he cried from his room for a solid 45 minutes. 

Aidan:  Mommy!! I am scared.

Me: Of what?

Aidan:  My room.

Me:  There is nothing to be afraid of.

Aidan: Mommy!!  I has a boo boo.

Me: Do you want a band aid?  {He hates band aids}.

Aidan: Nooooo.

Me:  Close your eyes and please stop yelling.

Aidan:  But, but, but Mommy! I is sick! I sick. 

Me:  What's wrong. I don't think you are sick. 

Aidan:  Yes I am! I am running a beaver.

Conversations With a Three Point Five Year Old

When we put Aidan to bed at night he is always looking for an excuse to prolong the sleeping process.  He knows that he is not allowed to have anything to drink because if he does, he most likely will wet the bed and no one wants that to happen.  BUT, his father is a little weak sometimes.

Tucking Aidan in Tonight

Aidan: Mommy?

Me: Yes, baby?

Aidan: Can I has a weally big hug and a weally big kiss and {saying very quickly} some appew joosh. 

Me:  You can have all the hugs and kisses you want but no apple juice. 

Aidan: Ok. 

{I leave the room, 5 seconds pass}

Aidan: DADDDDDYYYYY

{Adam goes in}

Aidan: {in what he thinks is a whisper} Can you get me some appew joosh? I won't tell my mommy.

Conversations with A Three Year Old

Overheard Sunday evening while Aidan was in bed.  He was talking to a Build a Bear that my girlfriend Candace gave me in high school.


Bear Says: I love you April (she recordered her voice so the bear would say this when you press it's foot)

Bear Again: I love you April

Bear AGAIN: I love you April

Aidan: (whispering) My name's not April. 

Not Really a Conversation With a Three Year Old...But Sort Of

I went grocery shopping the other day and bought a ton of fruit.

Me: Adam, can you seriously believe Aidan ate two of the bananas and two of the apples tonight? 

Adam: Are you complaining about his healthy eating habits?

Me:  No, I am complaining that he ate that in 30 minutes right before dinner and I couldn't stop him.  Then he didn't eat dinner. 

Adam: Have you tried hiding the fruit instead of leaving out in the fruit bowl on the island.

Me: Great idea. I've got the perfect place.  I'll put it all in the microwave, he will never find it there.


Next morning. We are laying in bed, I hear Aidan get up and head to the kitchen.  I'm listening. Open fridge. Grab milk I made for him for this a.m.  Close fridge.  Hear his little mitts feeling around the top of the island for fruit (you know cause he can't see up there).  Silence for a minute. 

Aidan: (screaming) MOMMY!!!! DADDY!!!! Someone hid our fruit in the microwave.  Don't worry, I found it.

Adam: Good one.

Me: Damn it.

Conversations With a Three Year Old

Grocery Store in the checkout line.

Aidan: Mommy, I want a balloon.

Me: Uhhh they only do that at the other grocery store. 

Aidan: Oh.

Me: Well can you help me and carry this?  (Handing him a block of cheese and packet of taco seasoning)

Aidan: Sure Mommy.

Me:  Gosh, Aidan you are such a great helper.

Aidan: Yesh.

Me: What would I do without you to help me?

Aidan: Carry this yourself.

This was out of the blue in the car while sitting at a red light headed to dinner at my parents...

Aidan: I miss my family.

{Adam and I turn and look at each other confused}

Adam: What family?

Aidan: My brother and my sister.

{Again, confused}

Me: You have a brother and a sister?

Aidan: Yessssssss Mommy.

{Okkkkay}

Later at dinner I say to my father. Aidan tells us he misses his family.

Dad: Hap {my dad's nickname for Aidan, short for Happy} you miss your family?

Aidan: Yup.

Dad: Is there something you aren't telling us Hap?

Aidan: I miss my brother and sister.

Dad: What's your brother's name?

Aidan: Ishtar.  {I'm assuming this is how we spell it}

{We all explode with laughter}

Aidan: I'll tell him you say hi Grandpa.


Seriously, where does he get this stuff?  Once he said his brother's name, I was crying.
