The Fight For Independence



Aidan is in a hurry to grow up. I do not remember Jack having the drive at this age to be as independent as Aidan tries to be. Of course, when Jack was this age he was constantly surrounded by two doting parents and had no chance to even attempt to be independent.

It has been different for Aidan. There is simply not enough time to do the day-to-day chores and pay constant attention to the boys. This is Aidan's window.

Often Jodi or I will look up from cooking, cleaning, reading the mail, etc. and find him with his winter boots on (wrong foot- but zipped). Sunday night he tried to put his pajamas on. Except he put the shirt on like a pair of pants and tried to hike them up to his neck. One small problem-there is no way that neck hole is getting over, around, or threw his belly.

Things I noticed:
• Jack was reading from Hop on Pop today.
• The price of corn is over $4.00 a bushel. At what point does ethanol from corn not make sense? Or how about heating your home from corn?
• Got the CD of pictures from Matt and Cherie's wedding. Great pictures!
• Michelle Bachmann was excited about the State of the Union last night.
