Today’s the day. The day I love and the day I dread more than any other – Aidan’s birthday party. I said we weren’t having a party this year in light of the Disneyland shenanigans taking place next weekend, but we have to do something for family, right? So it begins…..in a few minures I [...]

LW is an enthusiastic and expressive child. He constantly uses his hands when he talks (where he gets that from, I’ll never know) and his facial expressions are priceless. He has quite a flair for the dramatic to say the least. It really should not have surprised us then when during our impromptu visit to [...]
The Things to be Found at Walmart!
Posted in Aidanisms, Just For Fun on Jun 21st, 2009
Walking through Wally World today, LW looked up at me and said, “Dad, was that a real parrot?”
– “Huh?”
– “That boy had a bird on his lap.”
– “Really? You’re the one with the eagle eyes. Let’s go back and check.”
Sure enough, sitting in the gardening area waiting for his mother to finish shopping was a [...]
The Graduate
Posted in Aidanisms, Family, Just For Fun on Jun 1st, 2009
Thursday LW graduated from kindergarten. What!?! Wasn’t he a baby last week? When did he get so big? Soon we may have to remove the L and just refer to him as W. Nope, never mind, can’t happen. We don’t like the original Dubya in our house, so I will not call my child by [...]
Who made THIS happen?
Posted in Aidanisms on May 19th, 2009
LW has brushed his teeth four times in the last 30 minutes.
He’s “flattened” his hair… with water even… whoa…
He put on lotion.
He used MOUTHWASH…
He even put on chapstick.
He’s “snazzed up!” … and won’t tell us why.
OMG… my boy is concerned with *whisper* “hygiene” shhhhhh
Forty minutes ago he was still a boy.
… a boy who grimaced [...]
A Hard Day at School
Posted in Aidanisms, Family, Just For Fun on Apr 25th, 2009
On Friday morning, I dropped off a very happy boy at school. Four hours later, they boy that walked out of the classroom was clutching a handful of tissues and trying very hard not to cry. He managed to hold the tears in until he got to me and then the dam burst. When I [...]
Serious Thinking Going On
Posted in Aidanisms on Jan 17th, 2009
Here’s proof that kids think philosophically.
Riding in the car one day, LW brought this little gem to my attention.
“Dad, if the Rancor Monster is a creature that eats other creatures why doesn’t it just eat itself? That would have been easier for Luke.”
I had no words. It’s nice to know my kid is a thinker.

LW’s Favorite YouTube Video
Posted in Aidanisms on Jun 30th, 2008
Seriously, he bounces around the house humming this tune.
LW will probably kill me when he’s a teenager and finds this on the web, but maybe it’ll be lost in the ether by then…
Overheard from LW: “Dad, I pulled my pee-pee and farted. It’s the fart switch. *giggle*”
It was all I could do not to give the laughter of approval.
L.W. – Jedi Knight
Posted in Aidanisms, Just For Fun on Jun 28th, 2008
LW and I have been watching the original three Star Wars episodes this summer. Well… I’ve watched them and he’s flitted in and out while they’ve been on.
It’s been fun watching my little guy with Star Wars. R2D2 and C3PO have been his imaginary friends for several days, and he wants a lightsaber. Can’t say [...]
