i don't know how i can still be surprised by the gross things the boy does...but, i am.  specifically, in the past couple of months, i've been trying to teach him how to blow his own nose and that boogers go on tissues.  i bought him a lil box of tissues for his nightstand bc he was struggling with the concept of getting out of bed to get tissues for wipe'n and instead would put them on his bed.  delish, i know.  once i bought the box of kleenex - he was all excited to have his 'own special box' and started using it.  the only quirk is that i can't get him to throw away the tissues when he's done.  he uses them and then shoves them back into the box!  i'm still working on that...

 

well, just yesterday, we had a new development.  Aiden started to get a runny nose (i'm blaming jon for bringing home disease).  overall - i'm not a big tissue user, as i feel toilet paper works just fine.  so, yesterday, the boy was carrying around the strand of TP like it was a Linus blanket.  it was gross, but at least he's using it, right?  he apparently misplaced the security blanket and had a booger...so, off he went to find the TP roll in the bathroom.  i wasn't privy to this event.  how did i find out?  well, i had to go to the bathroom - went to grab the TP and to my surprise - it's covered in boogers.  awesome.

 

you win some, you lose some.  one day at a time...
