Nana and Banana

This morning, I woke up to the alarm for once. We usually just start our day when Aidan wakes up (that is one of the great things about being SAHPs (Stay-At-Home-Parents). After a quick shower and sweeping up a pile of hair about half the size of Emma, I fed Aidan a banana themed breakfast (they are by far his favourite fruit). We then congregated in the living room to await the arrival of Nana.

Once Nana got here, much like Santa with bags full of toys, we enjoyed a morning full of watching Aidan play in our laps, on the floor, in his bumbo chair, and in his new excersaucer. After some more food and all that playing, Aid was ready for a nap, so we took advantage of the intermission in entertainment to have our own lunch. Once Aidan woke up from his nap, we hopped in the car and headed to the park for a nice walk by the water. Nana headed home, happy from her Aidan fix, but is likely craving more already. For those of you who don't already know, this kid is like crack.

We've just been kicking back for the rest of the afternoon, playing, talking and us watching some TV. Dinner's coming up soon. I've temporarily given up on beef and vegetables (and sometimes macaroni). Last night, I tried really hard to make it appealing. Heck, I was ready to eat it. But Aidan was only eating it because he was starving and it was taking a long time going down. I got some pretty nasty faces to boot. Tonight we'll keep it simple: Oats. Chicken. Sweet potatoes. Can't go wrong with that awesome trio. Oh yeah, and Matt and I should probably eat too ;)
