Long Hair, Don't Care

My son Aiden is almost two years old now and we have never cut his hair. Currently he has very long and pretty blonde hair and I like it, but apparently people I know...friends, family...they do not and they feel it necessary to constantly talk about it like they have a say in my son's appearance. I do not know where this problem with long hair on boys comes from... I do not understand why it is such a bone of contention for some people, but I do understand that regardless of how other people feel about my son's long hair... it will stay that way. Listen, I get it...people confuse him for a girl and that does not bother me so I do not understand why on earth it would bother anyone else...
Why does it matter if a complete stranger calls him a she?
Why does it matter if someone randomly and wrongly says he needs to get his hair cut?

1. NO he does not need to get his hair cut.
2. NO it is no one's business why my son's hair is long.
3. NO it is not appropriate to tell someone else that they need to cut their child's hair.  Here is the rub with that... if you are a parent, mind your own kid's upbringing and I will mind mine.  If you are not, you have absolutely no right to tell me how to raise my child.  Essentially.... you do you and I will do me...thanks. 

October 2014

So close to the two year mark, 21 months and counting!

FLUTE!

Today was Aiden's 2nd trip to the Ocmulgee Indian Festival in Macon. I volunteered this year and spent four hours helping children make pottery and directing people to a walking path and then enjoyed a bit of time with Adam and Aiden before having to rush home to finish a paper with a very close deadline.

We're planning his 2nd birthday party...WOW...that soon??!!!?? 
I cannot believe it.

His grandparents from Florida had a small visit this weekend and he enjoyed spending some quality time.  His grandmother made him some awesome pajamas...which I totally got too excited about because I love pajamas and they all match and are adorable.

(it is the small things people...)

He loves their inflatable bed they sleep on when they visit

Because I am a glutton for punishment and I also think it is hilarious when I see my kid get overly excited, I bought him a flute at the Indian festival. I saw a little girl running around with one while I worked a craft table and I thought to myself...wow that is loud, Aiden needs one.

I care not for my own sanity. I can only say that his reaction to the flute was comparable to the reaction to the spaceship guy in the Lego movie... FLUTE FLUTE FLUTE!!!!

After the five seconds it took him to figure out how to make sound...he was just elated with it and so tickled and full of laughter, it was worth the five dollars.

He has since played the flute many times tonight before being convinced to go to bed.

This boy likes his flute

Overall... we had a great weekend!

20 Months Old!

Ear Infection Ending

Aiden's first really big bout of sickness has almost gone...the dreaded ear infection which was accompanied by a 104 temperature!  


After 4 days of antibiotics, he went outside today and played.

Free Comic Book Day!

It is always fun when you know someone in a specific business and Adam and I just so happen to have a friend who recently opened their own comic shop...which is awesome and great for them.  We wanted to show them some support and check the place out today since it was Free Comic Book day and they had things like face painting, a dunking booth, and a bouncy castle.
Aiden had a great time, got his first comic book, a minion, AND experienced pocky (which he likes).

Aiden Brann Wilson: the next agent of SHIELD

He had more energy than I did

Happy Boy!
