So today after Aidan's nap - or non-nap - as I like to call those lovely
days when he decides to spend the afternoon singing to himself and
rolling the trundle bed out from under his mattress instead of sleeping -
I thought we should carve pumpkins. I thought that Aidan would love it
- digging into the pumpkin and pulling out the seeds seemed like
something right up his alley! I kept asking him if he wanted to help me
and he kept running away and refusing to touch the pumpkin. I thought
he was just being difficult but I was wrong. I finally got him to come
over and grab a spoon to scoop out some seeds. As soon as he dipped the
spoon into the pumpkin he started gagging - I mean really gagging - I
thought that he was going to throw up into the pumpkin. So there it is -
just another reason to feel guilty. I am a terrible mother who didn't
realize that pumpkin guts would gross out a 2 year old.............
