I know this is not Aidan's experience BUT...

Alright so I know that this is not something Aidan would talk about, but sometimes mommies do have something to say too!

There is something out there that just gets my goat, is the whole new LOL! craze, what the hell is this all about, I just don't get it... I know that it stands for Laugh Out Loud, but what ever happened to actually physically laughing, i Love to laugh and just doing this LOL thing doesn't give the same feel good feeling as a good old hearty laugh does!

I also know that some people use it when they are texting or writing but if i wanted to Laugh Out Loud or "LOL" then I would do as i have done my whole life... i would go: HA HA HA and if i wanted to Laugh Out Soft id just say ha ha ha! Caps for loud and lower case for soft! come on man laugh get those muscles working and LAUGH for REAL!!!



How ever should you choose to continue with this sad form of laughter,PLEASE OH PLEASE, use it in the correct context, Two cases of incorrect(what the hell were you thinking) context:
1: it was my birthday a few weeks ago and someone wished me with this line(no jokes!) "Happy Birthday LOL!" I mean come on what is so hysterically funny about saying happy birthday? or wait is it the fact that it was my birthday the funny part... I DON'T UNDERSTAND!! it not like I'm becoming old and decrepit or anything (I am only 25!)
2: one of my friends on Facebook had something not so great happen to her so she puts it in her status and some chops comment... "Oh no! that's terrible, LOL!"
WOW talk about wrong context... I'd be like, UNFRIEND! that's just mean!!!

I must add that I do not have the same issue with LMFAO because Laughing My Fat Ass Off is just slightly long to write...

So the next time someone LOL's out of context I think I will just have to LMFAO and tell them to shut up before they hurt themselves....

To Cut or NOT to Cut... That is the question!

Well I have heard it all... He's growing a mullet, he has horns, his fringe is too long, come on Tracey you need to cut Aidan's hair...

I personally don't think that it needs to be cut, I mean this poor child's hair can be deceiving I know, what with the colour tone that it is and how it makes the hair look thicker than it really is, and yes I agree he does have a few strands that are slightly longer than the rest, but does that warrant a cut?

How can I go and maim Aidan's beautiful soft fuzzy baby hair just to please others? Shame man it has taken this poor little guy 14 and a half months to grow it like this and now people are getting funny about it, its not like he has a mop of hair that resembles an untidy afro or anything, in fact its the exact opposite, I fear that if I end up cutting this gorgeous set of locks it will make the fact that his hair is still very much thinned out stand out even more...

Oh and then there are the people who say, well shave his hair all off then it will grow back thicker, (now if you are not Indian and it doesn't fall into what your culture is doing why should I?) I have spoken to a friend who happens to be a hairdresser and he basically said that when you shave your baby's hair you are actually totally getting rid of it, because when you are thinking that here it is growing back thicker, you have actually pretty much gotten rid of the Baby hair and now encouraging the adult hair to grow, as adult hair is more coarse than that of a baby's hair(their hair is deciduous and will fall out later giving the space for the "thicker" adult hair) He compared it to the fact that once you baby's first tooth has cut and is taking a while to grow to it's designed length, would you go have it pulled just because it's taking longer than what YOU feel it should take? (Thanks Kev!)

What I keep telling myself is that God is the one who has designed this beautiful being , why should I go and want to change the way He made us? Yes I admit I sometimes feel slightly impatient and wish the hair would grow quicker and the teeth would cut sooner and that he should start walking now, but then I remind myself that we have a lifetime together, it will all happen in God's own time, and that no-one on this earth has the power to change the way Aidan develops, really, so what if he isn't talking the hind leg off a donkey yet or that he is taking his time to walk? I have a beautiful,happy, healthy and loving child and he will do these things when he is ready...

The way I see it ... NO CUTTING!!!!





How can I cut those cute side burn curls???

My word!!

Oh my word has it been ages since I last blogged or what?
you would think that with all the "down time" I've had there would be plenty of news... well sorry to disappoint you we don't have much going on...

Just a few items that have happened in the Bevan household: I had my first Easter where I could actually EAT the chocolate and not just look at it!



I went to my 1st birthday party on the 24Th of April (by my 1st party I mean non family related one)
Anyway Thomas(aka Tom Tom) turned 2 and his party was held at Duck and Deck in Hillcrest, on a pretty nippy cold day if I do say so myself, it all started with daddy forgetting about the time and mommy and I waking up at 9.15am(party was at 10am)that meant that we only had 15min to get ready and go... but amazingly enough it was managed and with time to spare!
Then just as we are pulling into Duck and Deck's driveway what happens?? well I decided that now would be a good time to vomit... all over everything, luckily I missed Tom Tom's pressie! Time for outfit change, then off we go for some farmyard party FUN! Well the party was loads of fun and once again I didn't move from the eats table, just like at My own party(apparently the vomiting was just to make sure I had enough space for all the other treats...)

We went to Duck and deck again with the usual suspects(Aunty Candice, Uncle Ryan, Kyla-Lee, Aunty Gerry, Uncle Kevin and Tyrone) and I had a few pony rides... man do I looove them ponies....



We also took a trip to Suncoast Beach with Aunty Candice, Uncle Ryan, Kyla-Lee, Aunty Gerry, Uncle Kevin and Tyrone, wow we had such fun playing in the sand and the water.(The mommies took about a week to get ALL the sand out of our respective nappy bags)





Mom also entered me into a competition on image perfect and all my pictures placed, we came first as World face of the month, for Top Family, second for Top Mother and Child and Third for Top Father and Child- I'm so cool!




Ooooh and mommy has ordered me 2 pairs of Huggalugs, one pair is Rainbow stripes( I'm going to be wearing these to aunty Shea's hippy party, and the other pair is black with white stars- just to bring out my emo side, I really do like bruises!!

Oh talking about bruises, I managed to give mommy a real good one the other day, without even touching her, all I had to do was leave the Tupperware dish I was playing with just by the pantry step and BAZINGA! she went flying through the air like a firework on Guy Fawkes... it was HILARIOUS! oh and she landed on my dinner bowl and got a nice round bruise on her thigh... (tell the Americans... the aliens have landed, and left crop circles on mom's leg!!)

Oh and we have got a new lounge suite and rug and side table and lamp... and... ha ha and nothing more...
I really love our new rug in the lounge its so soft, so now I can jump and play and not have to worry mommy too much about chipping more teeth, I also loooove rolling around on it, I pretend I'm a doggy just like Aimee!

Ooh more news, I almost forgot, I took about four steps the other day, while daddy and uncle Ryan were busy sorting out network cables for daddy's new toy(the Mede8er- media centre box)I was busy walking between mommy and aunty Candice, Kyla-Lee was sitting near by giggling at us...although I took four steps over the weekend I cant say that the whole walking thing has grown on me just yet as I haven't even bothered trying again...

The other day I also tried my hand at some finger painting for the first time, what fun!







Oh wow so more happened to us this month than I thought!
