Tonight Aidan is still not feeling 100%, thus he is the king of the temper tantrums. After we came back from our long walk around the block, insisted we go again. I calmly explained that I needed to make dinner, we would not be going on another walk, etc. etc. etc. Well, THE temper tatrum ensued. He stood at the door to the front gate sobbing and screaming "Mommy walk!" at the top of his lungs....I ignored this (like you are supposed to do) for what seemed like an eternity. Next thing I know, I hear the door open! I bolt outside and Aidan had opened the door himself and was trying to take himself for a walk! I was scared, mad, and well, angry! I scolded him with enough angst to really scare the begeesus out of him so I hope he does not do this again..But later I had to laugh realizing that just yesterday he was so sick he was like a wilted flower, laying on the couch all hot and wimpery and all I wanted to see was a little of his spunk...Phew! I saw some major spunk tonight! :)
