Astonism's

Aston has recently hit a super funny stage. He is in a very imaginative place yet he's learning more about his surroundings and his language and speech are developing at a super rapid rate. Here are some of the funny things we are laughing at around our house these days.

Aston is the following things at any given time:

A blue kitty who likes warm milk and blueberries. He roams around the house meowing and telling us that blue kitty is sad.
A big scooper who eats only with his scooper not a fork.

His words for things are:

plane-port = airport
black dog = Brady
Maxiwell = Daddy
Mommywell = Mommy
Scooper/Scoopie = Backhoes and bulldozers

So Aston has started calling daddy, Maxwell because one day I was getting Aston dressed for the day and got frustrated with Max about something silly and called him Maxwell and Aston picked up on it. Now he walks around the house calling him Maxwell and it is just the cutest thing ever. Sometimes its daddy Maxiwell, other times its just Maxwell.

Aston is also IN LOVE with all things construction. Currently Shadow Mountain's campus (Max's work and Aston's school) is a huge constructions zone and will be for the next 2 years or so. That means that when we get bored at home, we go and watch the scoops. The week of Valentine's, one of the scoop drivers (Yellow Scoop) let Aston come inside the scoop and look around. The next day when Aston came to school for Valentine's Day, he brought the Yellow Scoop Driver a Valentine. He was so touched that today, he gave Aston an "I Dig Dirt" hat. He was so touched by Aston's Valentine that he went out and got him a brand new John Deere hat. SO NICE! Needless to say, Aston is loving every aspect of the construction and wants to stay at "daddy Maxwell's work" all day, every day.
