This week is a special one for Ayden. Ayden's blog was nominated for most valuable blog of the millennium. It is an honor sought after by many but bestowed upon few. Unfortunately, Ayden's new found fame has gone straight to his head. For example, he now refuses the notion that in order to walk, one must crawl. He told me in confidence that "crawling is for babies".
Additionally, now that his arms are no longer uncontrollable sea monsters, incomprehensible and independent of his thoughts and control, the Boy feels that he's earned the right to pick up and throw everything within his "personal space" as he puts it.
Moreover, he no longer takes milk unless it's precisely 98.6 degrees. The moment bottled milk from the fridge--that wasn't properly warmed--so much as touches his precious little "I'm a CBS Pittsburgh MVB finalist" lips, his mouth goes limp, he stares directly in your eyes with a blank stare,and he lets the milk slowly trickle out of the side of his face. He knows I know his game, but he just stares off into space like a helpless baby until his Mommy makes it all better.
So thank you KDKA Pittsburgh for transforming my precious 4 month old into an egotistical self centered prima donna. Maybe I'll return the favor when we are deciding where to send him for his college internship.
