So (despite what you probably thought when you read the title), this post is about Aidan. Maybe it's just because I have a baby again to compare to Aidan, or maybe just because Aidan's getting older, but over the last month Aidan has really seemed to grow up. Suddenly, he can play independently (which is new and VERY exciting for me!). In fact, his favorite toys right now are these Toy Story toys that we are borrowing from some friends. He takes one with him EVERYWHERE, and he talks to them like they are real people - super cute.
He is completely potty trained except for night time (only because he can't get his clothes back on by himself and I don't want to be waking up for both boys instead of just one. Aidan is begging to wear underwear at night, too.). He doesn't even ask me or tell me if he needs to go potty - he just goes! (This makes for some humorous situations when he runs out of the bathroom naked from the waist down in the middle of piano lessons!)
All of the sudden, he stopped wanting naps. While he will occasionally fall asleep during his quiet time (see below), for the most part he can go all day without a nap and be fine. (Sad for momma!)
His sense of humor is growing and developing - he understands teasing more and even tries to tease us.
And he suddenly understands playing games way better than he used to. This video shows how he plays hide and seek with the Jessie doll. Notice that he hides her himself, then "counts" while peeking. When he's running around the house, he's saying, "Is she over here? No. Is she over here? No." And then he finds her! So cute!
I sure love my not-so-little boy!

Remember what fun we had playing hide-n-seek with Aidan when I was there in January. He didn't quite understand the game then.
