Pippy Ta Ta!!

I have had SUCH an amazing day with my handsome little boy! I've been working really hard at being a very intentional parent, by that I mean making sure I'm taking every opportunity I have to teach him right from wrong, actually taking the time to explain the difference instead of using bribes or redirection, and then giving him the chance to make the right decision himself. A.lot.of.work (most days) but I know the pay-off is going to be more than worth it, actually, it already is!

This morning Ayden starting saying, "Pippy ta ta!" I have NO idea what it means, I'm pretty sure he's just saying it because it sounds funny.. but who knows!! It's ridiculously cute! :)

He has been SUPER smiley all day. I have been on the receiving end of many slobbery kisses, and he has told me that he loves me twice!!! :)

He listened to me very well during our grocery shopping adventure, and managed to get through all of his mini tantrums without causing too big a scene.. ;)

He "CHEESE"'d for a picture, and it turned out super cute!!

I purchased him a new toy today: a bubble blowing lawn mower- he took that thing around our house no less than 10x in the first hour we had it. He absolutely LOVES it! He pushes it and says, "Mo GRA!" (Mow grass).

He snuggled up with me for nap today, and decided to be super silly before falling asleep. He rolled over to me, plugged his nose and said, "Pee yew!" Which is what he hears me say all of the time! haha! We did that back and forth for a few minutes, along with some tickle pickles, and he fell asleep perfectly content in about 20 seconds when I said, "time for nap!" :)

ALSO, my new favorite: When we ask him where Jesus lives, he points to the sky and says, "In the Heavens!" More like, "Heh!" (his form of Heaven!) And when you ask him where else, he rubs his shirt and say's, "In my heart!" More like, "Har!" :)


This post is for me, I know it's not exciting to most, but it's important that I remember these special moments with my gift from Above! :)



I LOVE YOU, AYDEN JAMES HEARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
