The Perfect Toy Finally Found!

After we bought Aidan's big car seat we had a giant box leftover. Jayson immediately adopted it and we've had it for almost two weeks now. I would love to throw it away since our apartment is already so small, but everyday it's something different and important, like a rocket ship, oven, house, mailbox, cave, tent, boat, fire engine, bed, and others that I have forgotten. It's becoming tattered now and it's days are numbered, but it's been a good life for that old box.








On Saturday Aidan and I attended our first Mommy and Me swim class. He loved it! I don't know which of us was shivering more, so we'll have to invest in some warmer swimwear.









Also, on Friday morning we went to the grand reopening of the Smithsonian Museum of American History, where Jayson got to meet R2-D2! This was especially poignant, because we bought Wall-E the animated movie a couple of days before. It's about a Robot who is terribly lonely and meets a friend, Eva. Jayson was deeply affected by the movie, and cried when Wall-E was almost destroyed and Eva brought him back from wherever it is that robots' minds go to after suffering an "emotional" breakdown. Jayson has been very sensitive lately, which is sort of the opposite of what I thought would happen to him once he started going to school. He's so sweet though, and was very touched to meet R2-D2 and he tried to explain to the robot that we had to go see other stuff in the museum when it was time to go on. He was a little teary-eyed. He has no plans to watch Wall-E anytime soon, because it's too violent (so he told me).
