Aylen.

#1.  Indeed. Lately he has shown us a more opinionated side lately, which has been fun?!? He's got lots of ideas... A common phrase we hear is "Mom/Dad how bout this...we (insert some idea about how we should have some toy do something)."  AJ has also enjoyed the phrases "you're a meanie", "Mom/Dad will never listen to me" and "Never"!!!  

For the most part he is a level-headed, rational guy. He's the guy that watched a 50 minute magic show quietly and intently. He's the guy that runs the second Dempsey makes a noise to check on her.  And the kid remembers so many things now. We went out for Grandma's birthday and he was able to recall going to this place one year ago. Insane.

Sweet monkey-dog.
