Aiden's presence was requested at my friend's son's graduation party. I was reluctant to take him because it started around his bed time. I am glad I took him anyway. Aiden danced song after song. I simply went to mingle with people I hadn't seen in months but AJ had a different agenda. He took me by the hand and led me to the dance floor and he danced all night. Unfortunately I could not record him because my cell phone was malfunctioning. Watching Aiden go down the soul train line was priceless.

Treat Them Like a Lady
I'm training Aiden to be respectful and courteous. They say you have to start early. Well I have my work cut out for me if I'm going to reverse AJ's paternal family's trend of mistreating their women.
AJ has been caught pushing Ariana and his brouzins. I will nip this in the bud. This is what I am doing so far. I distinguish the way he plays with boys and girls. He must be gentler with his brouzinitta and me. I make him say sorry when he hurts someone and he must comfort them with hugs or kisses. I remind him to say please and thank you before and after asking for food or drink. When he gets older I think he should say "Yes Sir and Ma'am".
