We were blessed for seven wonderful days with Aiden. I remember why we have our children when we are young and full of energy. I was pretty much on his trail during his wakeful period and by his side while trying to get him to sleep. I had only a few hours in between. As you may know about the "crib fiasco", he found a quick and reliable way out of his crib. For a couple of nights I would put him back on the makeshift bed he had while here. That was about 15 times of "its time for bed" and march him back into the bed. By the second night I decided this was not so easy and put him back into the crib. However, because of his wonderful ability to throw his leg over the rail and be out of the crib before I could get to the door, I stayed in the room until he fell a sleep. We found that to work for both of us.
I was excited to pull out the blow up swimming pool I purchased for his stay with us. It was not to happen. The weather was not going to play along. Puddles do make for good laughter and he found them. Is it a boy thing to go directly to puddles, whether water or mud. (Wait, I cannot say that. I have a vivid picture of Amanda and two of her friends deep in a mud puddle.)
He found some wonderful places to explore on the ponderosa. Chairs, doors, animals, lawnmowers and tractors, along with puddles and push up pops. He tried all the chairs out. Did not stay long on any one of them. Just tried to get up on it and then move on to the next adventure. This usually ended up in the detached garage checking out all the good stuff in there to play with and on. He would open the door and say "wow" as his eyes widened and his head turned up to the ceiling and around the room. He found the riding lawnmower to be quite entertaining. He liked the tractor too, until Grandpa had it running and then he did not want anything to do with it. There would be no riding of a running lawnmower or tractor......NOPE. No riding of the dog either. Yep, grandpa tried to get Jazz to take him for a ride.

Boys and their toys.....
I am really liking this push up pop grandma......We love you little man.
We had a couple of play dates with Rozalyn (Tracy's niece) at the park. Both were pretty shy with one another. Nevertheless there was interaction with each other.
