Merry Christmas

from our family to yours!

21 Months Old!

I am constantly surprised by how old Aiden is getting. At 21 months old, he keeps us very busy. He is sometimes an incredible helper, and sometimes…

Well, he’s broken four Christmas ornaments so far this year. They are all reparable, but still… thank goodness for super glue!

He uses things in unconventional ways…

He loves to be silly. He is happiest when he has a room full of people paying attention to him as he runs around, dances in circles, laughs in a strange way, etc.

He is very active. Whether he is running or walking, crawling or climbing, throwing or rolling or jumping… he’s on the move. This makes it a challenge to sit through church, and I am so grateful to our patient Nursery workers for being so sweet to our crazy little boy amidst all the little girls in there.

Aiden has a new favorite song. Sometimes he will smile at me and say “Toes!” Then as I sing “Head, shoulders, knees and toes,” he mostly just grabs his toes and tries to sing along (ah eh toes! ah eyes! etc.), ending with NOSE! It’s pretty hilarious to me.

Seeking Creative Solutions

Dear Blogosphere,

Our bathroom is nearly complete. We have to do a little painting, put the baseboards back up, and remount the medicine cabinet.

Sadly, our medicine cabinet, which has never matched the bathroom, still doesn’t match the bathroom. I like it, but it’s a completely different color from our other cabinetry (notice it on the floor on the left below).

So, here’s my question for you: Is there a way to paint or stain or otherwise make this cabinet match better? Or should I not care?

Comments welcomed.
