Aidan is four!

Aidan turned four on December 27th and he had a great birthday with all the family in Reno! He just saw the doctor and looks really good. Although the doctor did ask how Aidan's diet was and I just laughed. I am in shock everyday that he hasn't just blown away. The child rarely eats and if he eats this is what his diet does consist of…Trix, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, quesadillas, and mac 'n cheese. The doctor was like you really need to get him to eat some veggies, obviously you can't force feed him but make sure it is always available. The little scoundrel dry heaves by just smelling vegetables. I was having some vegetable lasagna I made for lunch and he left the kitchen with his hot dog on a plate and said he couldn't take the smell anymore. He's slightly dramatic. He proceeded to go sit in our front coat closet to get away from the smell.

Aidan is a cute little boy who has a little bit of an attitude sometimes. He can be really sweet and talks in his little quiet, sometimes whiny voice, when he wants something. Lately his definition of sharing is when his is all gone and he tells Ethan to "share" with him with what Ethan has left of his. Aidan can be a big help with Keaton when he wants to be. :) Aidan still LOVES all his cartoons in the morning. His favorite shows right now in the morning are Diego, Max and Ruby, Bubble Guppies and Umizoomies in that order. Aidan is loving preschool and loves his teacher Mrs. Noble. I am having a really hard time with him recognizing his letters though. If I ask him to show me a certain letter he can't for the most part point out which one it is. He can with some but not many. However, he can tell me the sound that particular letter makes which I think is weird. He is really good at counting but then again has a hard time recognizing what number is what. He knows all his shapes and colors which is good. He is really good at memorizing books that we read and likes to read them to Ethan and me.

Aidan has so much energy and so it's been hard this winter like every winter to come up with things to do inside to get his energy out. He really likes when we go to the dinosaur museum and to Chik-fil-a. He loves going over to friends houses to play which I have tried to be more conscientious of because it's important to him. It's hard to believe he is already four. Ben and I love him so much and love watching him grow and mature as the years go on!
