Soooo...Aiden had a 100 day project for school, due tomorrow! Yes, we have reached the 100th day of school (well, they haven't--recall their very late start)!
The project was to glue, draw...or whatever...100 things on a piece of paper. So, I got creative with their letter of the week...D. What can we glue that starts with a D? I could only think of "dog"...hmmm....
"Dogwood tree"!!! HA!!! Brilliant. I planned an awesome tree with 100 dog faces and pinto beans for the ears...the best dogwood tree ever!
I told Aiden, "This will be the best project in your class!"
Aiden: "Not the best one Mom."
Me: "Oh really? What have the other kids done?"
Aiden: "Someone glued 100 noodles to the paper."
....
Need I say more? Yes, tragic hit right to my Mommy center...in the middle of my heart. Oh well, I'll try again next time!
I was also listening to all of the clips on my phone. You know the Nutcracker that Aiden attended with Mimi, Sunny, Santana, Paula, Emma, and me? You know the one where he was the sole boy because of a sick little Connor? Well, on the way into town, I was in the backseat with my little guy. It was a car full of women talking about the last Nutcracker they went to...and then little Aiden's voice (oblivious to the girly talk) comes in loud and clear with a ton of excitement....
"Hey, isn't that a rocket ship up there? Hey, Mommy that's a....jet!!! It's a plane!!! It's...it's...it's a ROCKETSHIP!!! Mommy, it's a rocketship!!! I just see it!"
If only I could upload his little voice..it was so cute!
Leave it to Aiden to place a smile on your face!

You are sooooo creative Crystal!! I can't believe all that time and hard work didn't make up for someone glueing 100 noodles on a piece of paper! That would be my kid :) I am not creative at all but I might borrow this idea for one of my kids someday ;)
