Some of you may know that Aiden has a catchphrase. This started about six months ago and he still responds with it several times a week to certain things people say. His catchphrase is "Oh, Crackers!" It originates from one of the cartoons the kids watch called Jake and the Neverland Pirates. One of the characters from the show, Skully, says this certain phrase as least once every episode. Aiden has just picked up on this and now responds with it in daily conversation with perfect timing and relevance.
Anyway, this morning, I was telling Aiden about one of the mice that got caught in one of the traps last night in the house. I further explained that it was stinking up my laundry room. Aiden, without skipping a beat, responded, "Oh, Crackerpoop!" It caught Josh and I off guard and we both busted up in laughter. Apparently, he is now is modifying his own catchphrase to suit the moment. I still chuckle a little as I write this little story down.
Another funny story about our son ... about a month ago, Madilyn wanted to wear two mismatched shoes to preschool. Josh and I were alright with this fashion statement as long as it fit this criteria: the correct shoe had to be on the correct foot and that the selected shoes were of the same category of shoe. So, for example, she couldn't wear two left shoes nor could she wear one sneaker and one flip flop. Of course, once Madi started to wear her shoes this way, Aiden wanted to as well. Madi has since stopped this fashion faux pas, but Aiden, to this day, continues to wear mismatched shoes. His reasoning: so he can wear both of his favorite superheroes at the same time ~ Batman and Spider-man!
Aiden's Mismatched Shoes
Like I said, he is becoming quite the character. At least, he keeps us entertained when he isn't causing trouble or being rambunctious. Gotta love him!
