Interior Decorating

The last two days I had my grandson Aiden staying with me. He loves to come over and never wants to leave because he is always in the middle of a new project such as trying new ways of decorating my home.

He is only eighteen months old and has a gift with interior decorating. He goes through my entire house everytime he visits and rearranges everything. He wants to change the color of my floor, my walls and my cabinets. He likes things spread out to give the room more color. It has become quite obvious to me that he truly feels I need a major redesign of my home. He is full of ideas and always wants to try new things and new ways of rearranging, and his ideas are never dull or boring, he seems to have a way of bringing everything to life. It is as if he lights up the room with sunshine and laughter. I have been thinking this kid really knows his stuff. If I try to redo his decorating, he tells me no, no, no. I guess he feels I don't have the gift.

However most Interior Decorator's clean up their messes after they are through and put away their equipment. Not Aiden, so this week I politely gave him a broom and dust pan so he could do it his way. The raisins he decorated my floor with were beautiful, but I explained it was hard to walk through without messing them up, so he took the broom and pushed them under my table.

He seemed quite happy with that, but then tore his diaper off and climbed up to my table and decided to pee under it. I think he wanted me to move the table, so I did. I swept and mopped to his satisfaction, then he decided it was time to get my metabolism going, so he took off running, I followed breathing rather rapidly and after the catch, we wrestled. He wanted to wear his birthday suit, but I finally managed to convince him that his Nike outfit was much more appropriate for a little man such as himself.

This was just a very small bit of my two days with Aiden, he will be back to finish the decor next Friday! I am sure he will have some new ideas, I can't wait!!!
