balloons and bubbles

So, yesterday we celebrated my mom's birthday, which is on Tuesday. We got her a movie and some other stuff and we got her a balloon, a Mickey mouse balloon. We let Aidan hold it while we were in the store and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. He kept pulling it up and down really fast and hitting himself on the head. Then he was playing with it later and it was up really high above him so he figured out that he could pull it down if he kept pulling on the string, he is a smart kid, what can I say. We were going to let him give it to grandma but he wanted to keep it, He finally gave it up and then tried to take it back. OK it's your now, can I play with it?
This afternoon we were again hanging out with my parents and grandma (Adam invited himself over to watch the Suns game in High Def) Mom had a piece of bubble gum and was blowing bubbles while Aidan was watching. He just looked with really big eyes and tried to figure out was what going on. He thought it was really funny and kept doing his fake laugh, the one that sounds like a horse and woody woodpecker. He thought that maybe if he chewed something (his tongue) in his mouth maybe he could do it too. He was occupied by watching the bubbles for about 20 minuets. It was really funny. My cheeks are tired from thinking about chewing the gum.
