IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT I SHARE A STORY WITHOUT A PIC TO GO WITH IT, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES, ANYWAY. RIGHT?

WELL, I DIDN'T WANT THIS ONE TO GO UNTOLD. I HAD MY FIRST...MY TODDLER OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND NOW I WANT TO CLIMB UNDER THE DESK MOMENT.

WE ARE LEAVING FOR VACATION "CATION," AS AIDEN WOULD SAY ON FRIDAY. A 16 HOUR DRIVE (I THINK WE ARE CRAZY DOING IT WITH A TODDLER; I WILL BE SURE TO UPDATE HOW THAT GOES). ANYWAY, SO I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED OVER, OIL CHANGE, & TIRES ROTATED. AIDEN AND I WENT IN TO GET THE KEYS AND PAY. I AM STANDING IN LINE, AND AIDEN IS SITTING ON THE CHAIR SWINGING HIS LEGS LIKE AN INNOCENT LITTLE GUY, OF COURSE NOT SITTING STILL AS HE NEVER SITS STILL. THE MECHANIC COMES OUT, AND AIDEN YELLS ACROSS THE ROOM AS I AM ONLY LIKE 3 FEET FROM HIM. "MAMA, THAT BOY HAS EARRINGS!" THEN HE LOOKS AT THE MECHANIC AND SAYS, "ONLY GIRLS WEAR EARRINGS!"......IN A SASSY VOICE.

I APOLOGIZED TO THE NICE MAN AND EXPLAINED TO AIDEN THAT THOSE WERE BOY EARRINGS, AND MAMA WEARS GIRL EARRINGS. AS I'M TYPING, I CAN JUST SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING TO GO.......AIDEN IS GOING TO ASK ME TO BUY HIM BOY EARRINGS. HE ALREADY REQUESTED BOY CHAPSTICK!

I WILL BE SURE TO POST "CATION" PHOTOS!! FRIDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH! SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS......MY LIL' MISTER JUST BROKE THE SHIFT BUTTON. UGH!
