Never under estimate the power of Tom and Jerry

Hello!

Last night we celebrated Nick's 26th birthday. While on the way to Anderson, Aiden requests a song. I asked what song he would like to hear and he chimes in: I fell in to a burning ring of fire ... I went down down down and the flames went higher ... HAHAHA! I had no clue he knew that song. Then he requested Boy Name Sue also by Johnny Cash. Oh man ... what have we gotten ourselves into? We made it to the restaurant and Aiden sang he new favorite song to the family ... even the low notes. It was very cute. He also showed them how he can snap. Ever watch "In Living Color?" There was a skit with two guys that would snap in a "Round the world formation ..." Yeah ... that's Aiden's snapping motion. He snapped and said, "Go baby go!" at the same time. Quite entertaining (and scary).

The festivities ended around 9:30. We got the boys home and in pj's by 10. We told the boys that we would watch Tom and Jerry (or Cat and Mouse as they call it) and then we'd head to bed. It may have been the best 28 minutes of the week thus far. Aiden laid on the couch with his head in my lap and Logan sat with daddy in the rocking chair. At one point I noticed that both mommy and daddy were stroking the boys' hair. Logan's blinks were lasting longer and longer and Aiden would need to do a sudden movement now and again to insure he wasn't falling asleep. It was just a nice time as a family ... weird how we can reconnect via Tom and Jerry. Who knew!?!?!

Love,
Carrie
