New Words

Aiden has started asking about word meanings. Today he wanted to know what "cancel" means. I was telling him that I needed to call and cancel an appointment. Another word he asked about was "opportunity." He uses this word regularly now (e.g. I missed my opportunity to skype with gaga--an imaginary friend).

Aiden is swimming

So, Aiden started swim lessons a year ago in Nov. He is finally seeming to enjoy lessons! Finally the right teacher! He's love it and progressing so quickly. I'm trying to register for the same teacher again next session. I talked with the teacher and his supervisor about how happy I am with Aiden's progress--keep your fingers crossed for us!

Aiden Swimming

Aiden is finally enjoying his swim lessons. His teacher, Richard, is constantly singing and playing with the children in the water. He worked really hard to gain Aiden's trust in the water. Aiden drew this picture to give to his teacher. Aiden drew the teacher holding him in the water. This is probably the most accurate picture Aiden has ever drawn...and we had to give it away :-(

Erik's Century Ride

Erik did a Century (i.e. a 100 mile bicycle ride). He did the ride with some friends, but when they reached the finish line Erik realized he was about 1 mile short of 100. What did he do? he went another mile and came back!!!! Aiden made Erik a sign to cheer him on.

Aiden at the Airshow

Erik and Aiden went to the local airshow. They had an amazing time. Aiden loved the rocket car and airplane race. Aiden chose to wear his Tillamook Air Museum t-shirt...he told us that he thought others might mistake him for a pilot.

Aiden's headband

Aiden recently acquired some bulldozing vehicles. Apparently the tracks work well as headbands :-)

Zander is a Walker!!!
