Coloring!

Like both his Mommy and Daddy, Aidan definitely loves coloring. Today, we were in church trying to keep him good, so we pulled out the crayons. To our shock and surprise, he picked up the crayon and started writing just like they teach you in elementary school! Later, we caught him again....look at the perfect thumb and pointer finger position!

It's amazing since neither of us taught him this (maybe his school did?) and it is equally amazing that it's somewhat uncomfortable to hold a crayon, pen, etc. like that, especially since it's so much easier to "Caveman" hold it and just go to town. So that's a pretty cool thing, I must say. Who knows maybe he'll be doing cursive writing soon!

What do you think Aidan about your drawing and writings?

....and a Funny Smile

Not much going on this weekend...it was pretty warm here. We so took a quick walk on Friday. I'll have to take a picture/movie of this guy down the street from our place. He really goes all out for Halloween, complete with moving tombstones and caskets and a new thing this year that pops up and sprays compressed air and water at you! Pretty sweet.

Anyways, hope you all had a great weekend.

Have a good night,

Ty, Emmy and Aidan

PS: Congrats to our friend's the Amrine's who bought their first home today!

What a CUTIE he is! And I would expect nothing less than perfect crayon holding from him! lol! I'm sure that it is in the "genes" that he is sooooooo advanced. He is just such a delight...for the two of you as well as those who look from afar! THanks for the entry...I needed a FIX!

Love you all!
Mom

ps: Will get pics together of the new digs! Almost out of the house...and I didn't even shed a tear. The apartment feels like home already!
