Aiden and Ashley are 2 1/2 and give me double the terrible two trouble. Nah Just kidding. Other than a few dramatic outburst by Ashley and some crazy arm dancing tantrums by Aiden which are once or twice a week, my kids are really well behaved and sociable.
All About Ashley....
Christmas came and went and Ashley has become even more obsessed with Buzz and Woody. Both Grandma's, Hahn and DiPaolo have given them Toy Story Toy's, Dvd's and bedding sets but Ashley seems to have dominated all of it.She will occasionally let Aiden play with his Toy Story Toys but he has to ask Ashley for permission first. I know it sounds wrong that he has to ask for permission but it you know Ashley than you know she likes to have things in order and grouped together. She wants all of the toys to be together in the same pile and that includes Aiden's toy story toys. With her Christmas money she bought a soft stuffed woody and buzz doll that came with their own blankets and right now she is sleeping with the woody and woody blanket and has completely forgotten about her own blanket. We will see how long this lasts. No matter how hard I try to ask her if she wants Princess dolls or Tinkerbell stuff she only wants Woody and Buzz. I've been hard pressed to find Jessie the Cowgirl bedding or blankets.Ashley is the good eater of the two and will eat 3 or 4 bowls of cheerio's every morning and make little to no mess. She is obsessed with blowing her nose and asking for tissues constantly and will even wake up 2 or 3 times a night asking for a tissue. Her favorite movie is Shrek 2 and of Course Toy Story. She is the organized one of the family. Thank God, he gave me someone to help me when she gets older because I'm not organized at all. She is a Great Napper and even asks me politely to take a nap. She naps 1 to 2 times a day and if we are out and about doing errands she is the one that will fall asleep in the cart in the really awkward positions and then we get stopped every aisle by people commenting on her sleeping position.
All About Aiden.....
Aiden is the musical one of the two. He is obsessed with Guitar's or as he calls them, "TARS." He recieved plastic guitar from Phil and I for Christmas and he constantly is either playing that or the toy trumpet he got from Uncle Roger. And when we are at Bob and Janines its the guitar and the piano. Aiden is constantly singing or humming. His most favorite songs are Happy Birthday, ABC's and Big God. He also likes to humm the Disney and Fox theme songs.Aiden does not like to nap as much as Ashley and will fight it tooth and nail but will usually fall asleep in the afternoon for a nap. But beware to the adult who wakes him up during a nap, my sweet Aiden will turn into the Abominable Aiden. One of the things that Phil prays over Aiden and did before they were born was that he would be a man of prayer and he is. When we sit down to eat our food it is Aiden that will remind us to pray over our food. Aiden's prayer goes something like this. "Dear Food, Amen!" He likes to pray so much that he will stop us 2 or 3 times throughout the meal to make everyone pray again. He wants to make sure that all of the food is blessed. I'm just glad his prayers aren't longer.
So that's all that I can think of so far. I'm sure I'll remember more later.
