The vacuum.

This post in mostly so the memory stays fresh in our minds, for Ayden someday. Not terribly exciting, but something we want to remember. :)

Saying, 'Ayden loves the vacuum' is an understatement. My son is obsessed with the vacuum.

When Ayden wakes up in the morning, and from all of his naps, he takes a few short minutes to wake up slowly, and then he's off to the 'vacuum closet' where we stash the vacuum. He points at the closet door, then looks at me ( and he KNOWS I know what he wants). All I have to say is, 'Do you wanna vacuum?!' and he starts laughing, smiling, and semi-hyperventilating until I go over there and pull it out of the closet for him.

And then..

The vacuum dance (which I REALLY need to record). He walks, more like runs in circles around me and the vacuum for a minute or so while I unwind the cord and plug it in, and then reaches for me (which means he's ready for me to start it.) I start it up, then he reaches down, runs to the other side of the room and watches. It's a love-hate relationship with the vacuum, I say.

This happens at least 3x a day. Our house has VERY clean carpet. ha! I'm counting on this being his favorite chore someday.. ;)

Anyhow, this is a cute 'Ayden' memory for us. I needed to blog it!

Stay tuned for lots more updates.
