What Aiden Would Say If He Could Talk


Aiden can't talk yet beyond a firm "nooo!" and "dada" and "do(g)" in his cute little baby voice, but he says nonsense sounds very confidently and intentionally as if he is saying real, complex things. Here's what I'm thinking he's saying, if all those nonsense babbles were at all coherent.

1. "Hey playground friends, my mom still helps me walk, but I can crawl faster than you because I bet you forgot how to crawl like a ninja now that you're walking. Let me show you how it's done."

2. "Mom, how many times do I need to make it clear that I do not want a cold wipe and fresh diaper on my gibblets?! You took me away from playing for THIS?!"

3. "Here, Jake my fluffy German Shepherd friend, I'm going to throw my vegetables on the floor and see if you come running. Ha! Guys, did you see it? That dog at a green bean! Sucker."

4. "Mom. I'm serious this time. Stop trying to change my diaper. I was BUSY WITH TRUCKS."

5. "If you leave the front door or back doors open, you best believe I will make a beeline for the outside. It's where I feel free. Also it's where my trike is. And sometimes where the dog is. Double win."

6. "I'M A CLIMBER WATCH ME CLIMB ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE WAIT MOM HEY MOM UMM A LITTLE HELP HERE..."

7. "I don't have teeth. I have CHOMPERS. Watch me eat this toasted bagel like a champ."

8. "YEEEAHHH. I HAVE STICKS!"
