Okay, so at this point you might be confused. Too little? You might look at this photo and say, "Awww...he does look awfully little sitting in that big chair." Or maybe, "I wish I was little so that I could veg out in front of the TV, watching my favorite show, The Wonder Pets." But Jen, what do you mean, too little?Well folks, I demonstrated (once again) why I certainly won't be getting any of your votes for the 2008 Mother-of-the-Year award. I had to write about this because I thought it was funny and I wanted Aaron to know how loony his mom can be. The first part of my blog title is an actual song by Billy Dean. It's cute...and very age appropriate for Aaron.
The second part of my blog title is a reminder to myself that I need to check the size of something BEFORE I put it on my kid. Yesterday, after lunch, I noticed that my son was walking funny...kinda uncomfortable-like. I thought...wow...it's been awhile since I've changed his diaper, it looks pretty bulky-I better change it. So, I changed his diaper, and while it did relieve some of the bulkiness, he was still acting like something was bothering him. He was doing these leg bends and stuff...I thought--maybe he has to take care of some business. When he didn't do that, and continued to act irritated, I finally decided to re-do his diaper (in case I had pulled it too tight). That is when I finally noticed that I had put on a 12 month pair of shorts on my boy. My son is 2 1/2 years old...and while he can still fit into some 18/24 month shorts...12 months is a wee bit of a squeeze.
When I thought back to that morning, I remembered being in a rush, just trying to get out the door. I guess I just didn't notice how tight they were on him. Aaron, will you please forgive this scatterbrained mom of yours? I will try to do a better job next time. I promise.

Awwww, yes -- I've had days myself where I've tried to squeeze on a smaller size! I only wish I would have been there Jen to see his leg bends and your face when you realized he had on those shorts!! If that is the worse thing you will do to Aaron, I say you'll both be alright! =)
If I didn't know better, I might think that you had chemo brain, instead of me! :) Funny!
I read your post first thing this morning and I have been thinking about Aaron all day. I am still laughing at you....Thanks Jen for starting my day off right. Love and hugs to all.
