Decorating cookies! We chose a gingerbread man.
With Aiden beside Tay, rolling his dough,
Sam cleaned up the mess that rained down on their toes.
The dough was store-bought and as sticky as could be.Tay cursed every stuck candycane, star and tree.
Ten is good enough! We won't need that many,
Especially since Aiden has the attention span of a flea.
Lined up on pans in neat, tidy rows
Were the christmas cookies, all ready to go:
Shapes for decorating and tiny dough balls
Each sprinkled with sugar - we had it all!
The last confection going into the oven
Was the cookie made by Aiden with his extra lovin'
Actually it was boogers and snot added to his mix
Let's not tell dad - it will be our little trick!
He pounded and rolled the dough with great glee
Then arranged his creation on his pan quite proudly.
Look mom I'm done! He said with a whoop.
A perfect replica of snowy dog poop:
Out of the oven it came when the timer went ding
(Only the coolest mom would bake such a thing!)
"This one's for Santa" said Aiden, "I'll save it for him!"
"That's so sweet, Aiden!" (Thank goodness for Sam...)
I think this year is turning out to be the best
Because holidays with humor totally lower the stress!
So each year when I feel there's just too much to do,
We'll return to the tradition of gingerbread poo.
Who can be grinchy with such a hilarity on their plate?
Especially years from now when we can tell Aiden's dates
Of how, at age 3, a tradition of bathroom humor was made
All because our family was blessed with the hilarious Aiden Kade.
