Too smart for his own good!

This kid amazes me every day, he is so smart! I know we are going to have our hands full as he gets older. Here is just one example. We baked cookies the other day for Aiden to give to his little friends. Every time I opened the oven, I asked him to stand back because it would be hot. I know that he is observing and taking everything in as he is watching me. Later on in the day, he was playing on the kitchen floor and decided to try and open the oven himself. I told him "no", and reminded him that the oven gets hot and he is not to touch it. Well, I watched the light bulb go on in his head. He proceeded to open the drawer next to the oven, put on the oven mitts, and then try again to open the oven!! I was just amazed! Now, tell me, how do you argue with that logic? I was trying not to laugh as I told him yes, mommy uses oven mitts, but the oven is still too hot for Aiden. I don't know many 18 month olds, but I think I have a pretty bright one on my hands!
