Lesson Learned

Last night Aiden hopefully learned his first of many painful lessons.  He burnt his little fingers on the stove.  I probably told him 20 times in a matter of two minutes that it was hot and he needed to stay away but if anyone knows anything about Aiden its that he absolutly does not want to do what he is told.  He has this 2 year old mentality that his is the smartest human to ever walk this earth : )  It does not matter how many times you explain to him that he should not do something he has to prove that he thinks he is right and try it himself.  Needless to say he quickly realized that I was right and that he should not have touched the hot stove. But don't worry he is fine it was more damage to his ego than to his fingers because the stove was off at the time but it was still cooling down (darn electric stoves).  I think that he know has realized though that he should not do that again and he avoids the stove like it is the plague, but that is a good thing :  ).  He does his best to make sure that he keeps us on our toes at all times.  My cousin James mentioned on his blog that his twins were very talented at quickly destroying his house.  Aiden is the same way, you blink you eyes and something has been destroyed and you don't even know how it happened.  I could not imagine having two kids tearing through my house at the same time.  I am sure that he will hurt himself again after we have done all we can to prevent it but I have learned that it is inevitable and it is just part of childhood.  Luckly for us he forgets about having hurt himself in a matter of minutes and goes on to play  He sure is a daring little guy buut he sure is getting quite a lot of life experience and he is a completly different personality than Blake.  Blake would rather sit down and read a book or put a puzzle together and Aiden is like the tasmanian devil.  Love you two.
