Ka-Chow

A little background for a second and then the real story....
Aiden LOVES CARS, the movie. He asks all the time to watch "Light-a-queen" (lightning mcqueen). He has a Lightning McQueen toy that says "Ka-chow", which he repeats all the time with great energy, and come Christmas he will have plenty more of "light-a-queen" to play with.

Jeremy decided the other night to change the crib into a toddler bed for Aiden. He's been doing really well. He even sleeps great at naptime without a fight. I'm enjoying that while it lasts! He usually wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning. And he is my alarm clock! Another thing I completely enjoy - especially since I know that #2 will have his own way of ruining my beautiful sleep habits.

Today I woke up on my own at 8:30. I ate breakfast, checked my blog, balanced the checkbook and THEN started to really wonder what he was still doing asleep! So I quietly opened his bedroom door thinking maybe he was playing quitely with his teddy bear. Nope. He was still out cold. He didn't even hardly stir when I went in there. So I left his door cracked and started picking up around the house. I thought I heard him talking a minute later. I went in again and he was STILL asleep. I leaned over him to see if his eyes were open (they weren't) and right then - IN HIS SLEEP - he said "KA-CHOW!" It was the cutest thing. I practically ran out of the room to go call Jeremy. He didn't answer, so I called my mom. We have all gotten a good laugh out of that today. This is the pic I HAD to take right after the phone call to my mom. He woke up shortly after this... about 9:15!

9:15? Seriously? I've been "blessed" with early risers. The latest Canon has ever slept in is 8:00...once.

That is awesome. All Cady ever says in her sleep is "hold you?" in this sad little voice...cute but not really funny.
Cadence is currently having a love affair with Winnie the Pooh and has almost all the songs momorized. Cars would be a nice break! lol. Aiden sounds like he keeps you rollin!

Charlie Loves Cars too! We have a small Lighting McQueen with a light that comes out of the hood and all he does all day it say
"ka-chow" and point the light at everyone. Aiden is so funny it just reminded me of Charlie. They would have a blast together! I have yet to hear Charlie talk in his sleep however I am sure that is what he dreams about!!!
