Welcome Home Daddy!

Ryan was in Las Vegas from last Sunday until this past Thursday for a Trauma Conference. We sure did miss him!

 Even with a 3 hour time difference, he managed to call while Aidan was awake and had a chance to chat with him. Aidan insisted on holding the phone himself and made himself quite comfy while doing so:

We finally got to pick Daddy up in Philly on Thursday night, and we headed straight to our new favorite spot, The Sunset Grille for dinner. While there Aidan started chatting up the couple at the table next to ours, telling them everything from what he was eating, to the fact that Ryan had been on an airplane, and that Mommy was drinking soda. Even though I kept trying to get him to leave them alone, they were more than happy to keep chatting with him, and told us they have a Grandson who is just a few months older than he is.

They left shortly after that, and it wasn't until some time after they left that our waiter came over and told us that they had picked up our tab before they left. What!!?

We have certainly never had strangers buy our dinner secretly before, and we were blown away by the generosity of the 2 random strangers our kid had just made friends with! Maybe having a pointless conversation with our 2 yr old made their day, who knows?  

From now on I guess I better let Aidan charm whoever he wants, haha!

The things that Aidan has been saaying and doing lately have certainly been making us laugh. Even little advances like saying certain sentences better, such as "I want cheese" instead of "Aidan have it!".

Today we were all in the car and we heard a little voice announce from the back: "I tooted!".

Then we were sitting at a red light and as soon as it turned green he yelled "Go, Go, Daddy!".

Then tonight Ryan told Aidan to come sit with him so that they could read a story together and since he was busy rifling through his books and couldn't be bothered, he told Ryan to wait "a minute".

Unfortunately with Aidan almost being 2 now, he's definitely hitting the terrible twos...and BAD. I can ask him to do something and he will look right at me (or keep doing what he's doing) and say "No". Multiple times. Awesome.....and so it begins......
