That is what time Aiden decided to get up this morning. I don't know why. He wouldn't give me an answer. And no, he didn't want to go back to bed.
Obviously Aiden needed entertained while I took my shower. Thank the powers that be, that cable wasn't scheduled an outage for upgrades and the Disney channel worked.
We left the house at 7:30 and had to stop and fill the Jeep up with gas. That took 10 minutes to do. Then for some mysterious reason, traffic on the BA Expressway decided not to go any faster than 15 miles per hour. It isn't even that bad on Monday mornings and there is a truck explosion (which, yes, DID happen Monday morning on the way to school!).
By the time we pulled into the school's parking lot, Aiden was 15 seconds away from a total meltdown. He knows how long it takes to get to school and by God, he wants out of the
recliner carseat at 8:02am. Aiden refuses to smile or acknowledge the fact that everyone is telling him good morning. When we get into his class, I inform Miss Kate that Aiden is not the happiest of campers.
The school bell rings and I hung around long enough to talk to some of the other moms and ran into Andrew's (he was in Aiden's class last year, now in the Yellow class) parents on the way out. They are looking for a new pediatrician for Andrew and I gave them Dr. Pediatrician's information.
Then, it was off to Party America for birthday party supplies. According to the Party America website, they have Pooh Bear party supplies for toddlers....
..... NOT!!!
At least not the one closest to Aiden's school. So that meant that I had to make another trip to Ehrle's Party supply. However, they aren't open. And I didn't want to wait. So, brilliant idea pops into my head...
Go to the big Party America store located across the street from the mall.
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! Well kind of...
I did manage to get the Hundred Acre Woods wall screen and the Pooh and Friends add on for the wall screen. They also had Pooh Bear napkins and cups, although they were Baby Pooh for baby showers. Close enough. I did skip on the plates and bought red plates and forks since Pooh Bear wears the red shirt.
Also bought: party hats and party favour bags (to hold the bubbles and slinkies Aiden is giving to his guests).
Then I went to Garden Ridge for the 4 foot inflatable birthday cake decoration. Apparently, they don't have them anymore. And I didn't want to go back to Party America location #1 either. So, we'll skip the big giant birthday cake this year.
Then I went to buy a new purse. A smaller purse. A cute purse.
Isn't she cute?! She is a Ralph Lauren. And I got a really great deal on her. She was on sale for $26! And I also bought a new make up bag. Another RL for $15.
By the time I was finished shopping and transferred my belongings to the new girl, it was time to pick up Aiden from school. He gave me the biggest hug and kiss and was ready to leave. Aiden was so tired that he fell asleep before we even left the parking lot at school.
Walgreens had called and said that Aiden's prescription was ready to be picked up. I called ahead and talked to Aiden's godmother, J, and asked that she pull the script out of the refridgerator since Aiden was sleeping and I did not want to wake him up, we would brave the drive through window. J had his script waiting for us at the window when we got there.
We got home and I took Aiden out of his carseat and he immediately woke up. IN A
FOUL MOOD. I knew he wanted a bottle, so I carried him into the kitchen and grabbed an empty bottle to put his desired Pediasure it in. He grabbed the bottle from my hands and as soon as he discovered that it had not been filled with the demanded ingredients, he threw it on the floor and slapped me.
Yeah, that's the day I had. So I am adding a new category to Aiden's Antics. Along with Tuesday's Terrible Twos, we now have Tantrum Thursday.
