Aiden's Issues

Good afternoon!

I've yet another funny Aiden story:
The boys haven't been in the greatest of moods in the mornings. For instance, Logan was having a 'bad case of the Mondays' on Monday. Cried about every single thing. I hear that lasted well into his time at the sitter's. We made it through Monday, just to enter into Tuesday. Tuesday Logan woke up in the best of moods ... whew! He was hugging me, kissing me, laughing ... we woke up on the right side of the bed. Aiden however ... not so much. He was your basic whiny four year old for the first few minutes, then it all went to - well, you know. He asked if he could take a Hot Wheel to the sitter's (something we have never let him do). So I replied, "No, Aiden. If you take it there you will forget it and then be sad. Let's just wait until we get home tonight to play with it." He did not like answer. He threw the car across the room followed by throwing himself onto the floor crying like a baby. I then told him to pick up the car and hand it to me because he now lost it for the evening. I proceeded to tell him (calmly I might add ... I was very proud) that he was having some issues and needed to get it figured out so that he could have a much better day. His reply through his tears was, "What are issues and why do I have them!?!?!" It was all I could do not to crack up in laughter! It sounded like a woman if you want to know the truth. AHHHHH! I calmly (again, proud of that fact) told him that issues were problems and he needed to figure out why he was having a bad day and fix it. From what I hear, he figured out his issues within minutes of being at the sitter's and had a good day. Another crisis averted!
