It is safe to say that Aiden is Sam's best friend. They have little say regarding when and where they will play together, but they are always happy to see each other. Being able to talk to Karen, uninterrupted, while the boys play happily together is one of my favorite things to do.
Recently I noticed that Sam was thinking about Aiden even when he wasn't around. I was folding laundry and there was one small, grey sock left over. I knew it was one of Sam's old socks, but he didn't recognize it. He held it up, confused. Then he smiled knowingly. "Ain," he said, giving it to me to give back to his friend.
Around the same time, I bought a different brand of diapers. Sam was surprised to see a new design on his diapers, and tried to pass them off. "Ain," he said to me, pushing the package at me. "Are these Aiden's diapers?" I asked him. "Oh, yeah," he replied. "Ain." And that was that.
It was all very cute until the night I was getting Sam undressed for his bath. He noticed a stain on his shirt, which always bugs him. He pointed at it and said sadly, "Ain." Appalled, I told him that Aiden did NOT make that stain on his shirt.
Best friend or not - I am quite sure Aiden isn't interested in taking the fall for Sam!

Oh........Em....that one made me laugh and cry all at the same time! I am SO glad they are best friends! Hurry back so we can play on the swing set and sit in the big comfy oversized chairs....drinking strawberry lemonade!
Love and miss you both!
And it usually is Ain who messes up something of Sam's. I can't really blame him there!
