Happy 2nd Birthday Aidan!! That was the theme for our Memorial day weekend Aidan finally turned two!! We had been practicing saying two for so long now that its nice for us to be able to ask him how old he REALLY is and for him to say "do." We had a great day!! I was a bit nervous that he would get sick because that is what he did last year AND most of the holidays for the last two years. Call it bad luck, call it chance, Aidan just always seemed to get a bug on the important days during the year.

So this year we had a "memlmo" party (Elmo). He is still talking about it and had a grand time!! If only everyone could see him running around like a crazy man. Boy was he a cutie. He wanted everyone to sing "Happy Birthday" to him again and again and again. Everyone had to laugh. He wasn't interested in opening presents. It took to long. He would rather go play or go explore. Luckily Cadence was there to open presents for him. She did a great job.

Aidan got a lot of fun gifts and a lot of new clothes. He will be stylin this summer!! We got him a new chair to put in the family room and a Little Tykes car for him to use this summer outside. He also got his first bike!! A little Harley Davidson bike. What a stud!!

We had our 2-year appointment this afternoon and he came out with a clean bill of health. He even got the Hep A shot (the last shot until Kindergarten) and he didn't even cry. I was so proud of him. We went swimming before we went to the doctors and he went under water every time he jumped in the pool today!! That was a first for him so I was a proud mommy!! After the doctors we met Kristen and Cadence at Redmond Town Center to play in the fountain there. Wow, what fun he had. How he has changed since last year. He was having so much fun he didnt want to go get dinner at Red Robin (they sang to him for his birthday too). What a week it has been. We are ready for a break. It has been mid-80's here all week and doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon. Lots of pool time and fountain time for us in the near future. Until next time, stay cool.

P.S. I just figured out how to post pics on here. It never worked before hand!! Hooray. Bear with me as I play around with it over the next few posts!

Almost 2!!!

So much has happened since last time. Aidan has really been showing his terrible two's side but not all the time thankfully. He is also not doing so well at drop-off's for my MOPS group and when he stays with his grandparents. This is completely new. I think he is just wanting to spend as much time as possible with us. I know I don't mind!!

So, we still have the silly dog and that dog is driving me crazy. He is a constant whiner and Aidan is continuously bullying him. He whines and paces constantly when he is out and is always trying to get into your lap or is just under foot. There have been many a times that I have almost fallen with Aidan as well as without him in my arms because Meko never moved.

Onto other news...Aidan as we always knew, LOVES anything with balls. Whenever we turn the TV on he always asks to watch "ball." We took him to Woodinville High School fast pitch softball game a few weeks ago. This was his second time (last year he went for the first time, and the year before we went while I was still pregnant). He loved watching, but was more interested in the soccer game going on on the soccer/football field. We always keep one of his balls in the car and one by the front door or in his room for a quick grab on our way outside.

He has found an interest in Bob the builder lately and will actually sit and watch it for a few minutes. He also loves watching a few other shows, Teletubbies, some Curious George, and Mr. Rogers neighborhood. He likes to watch KCTS kids in the morning (when I nanny) and in the afternoon from around 4:30pm until about 5:30pm. He usually gets bored after a few minutes but then he will go run around and come back to watch some more. The afternoon is a life saver on icky days because he is usually cranky and causing trouble or destroying the house by taking everything out after I put it away.

We are gearing up for summer and are really excited to have nice days to enjoy and to be able to go outside. We are tired of the gloomy weather. Aidan is also working on his numbers and is talking up a storm. It is a lot of fun watching him learn something new everyday!! He will be 2 on May 27th so we are busy planning his party and getting ready for that. It's time to start dinner for daddy who should be leaving work here soon.
