All About Aaron

As per request, we are including pics of the kiddos (separate post though), as well as what they have been up to these past couple of months.

We'll start with Aaron:

So for those that do not know, he is now 3 1/2 years old and growing so fast that his shoes are having trouble keeping up. He still loves numbers, counting, reading, and spelling - It amazes me how fast this kid learns. As far as food, this kid still loves bacon - just like his daddy. Strawberries are still his favorite fruit and he LOVES Sour Patch Kids candy and Hershey's Kisses. And although we already mentioned it in the previous post, I must shout from the rooftops that, "HE IS POTTY TRAINED!" woo hoo!

Also, he has recently started singing and dancing (to the beat of his own drum, apparently...his form of "dancing" is....interesting....It mostly consists of looking at all of his 10 fingers open and shut until he decides to jump into a dramatic pose with his legs bent and his arms outstretched - then he pauses in his pose for a moment, and does it all over again.) And imagine if you will, a chipmunk voice walking around the room singing the lyrics, "Now isn't it funny how numbers help me count! Help me count! Help me count! Now STOP! Ohhhhhh!" (and repeat). We'll have to catch that on video soon.....

He has also taken up bowling...who knew bowling alleys had teeny tiny bowling shoes?? (He needed the smallest they had).   Here he is during his very first trip to a bowling alley, and once he figured out the loud crashes (pins falling) we NOT fireworks - he loved every minute of it.

Gone.......So how'd he do, you ask?.....

Well, have you ever been out-bowled by a toddler? I have! lol. Maybe I should try the bumpers next time!

 Yeah, as you can see, Aaron's final score was at the top, followed by mine, and then Matt's. He did awesome for his first time and we are definitely going back for their family night!

Also, every Monday he has been going to "School" (it's just reading/singing/ and craft time at the library, but that was the closest thing I could liken it to so that he would understand where we were going every Monday morning)  I started taking him there to bring him out of his "shy shell" and it seems to be working. He absolutely loves it and is excited every time we go.

Craft Time

Today's theme was on owls...I swear that is not a vampire bat. But even if it was, I would love it just the same! =)

We absolutely love this little guy, and it is so bittersweet watching him grow up. It seems like just yesterday he was just a helpless little lump of a baby (and I mean that in the best way)...and now he is a little boy - already itching to explore the world on his own. We cherish the moments we have with him at this age.

So Aaron, when you get old enough to read this: Although you have your moments where you can be an insane handful - We are still so proud of you and we love you very much. We wouldn't trade you for the world!  =)
