Cold Weekend!

Yikes...where did Fall go? Last week we were in the pool in Florida...now back to this? Cold wind and dreary skies...oh well...before long it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Aidan's big 2nd Birthday! Yeah!

We had a quiet weekend this weekend..little shopping here and there. We're gearing up for a big TV purchase as part of our Christmas this year, so we scoped out some of our choices and purchased the surround speakers and TV stand cabinet. Should be awesome, can't wait to hook up some Mario Kart Wii to it!

But I digress, what you all want to hear about is Mr. Aidan!

Well this week was definitely a banner week, here's all of Mr. A's amazing accomplishments:

1. We were told by his teacher's Megan and Beth that Aidan has been saying the following:

• "Aidan's Big Truck" and "Aidan's School Bus"
• "I color big trucks!" and "I color ambulances!"

2. This morning we got him up on the bed and Emmy asked where Daddy was, Aidan promptly said, "There he is!"

3. Colors and Counting have been amazing to say the least. He's able to count from 1 to 3 and knows every color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black and white) and an associated item, i.e. frogs are green, ducks are yellow, etc. Also, we've learned that as we count together from 1 to 10 he gets 1 through 3, then 6 and then 9 and 10. So we're working on 4-5, and 7-8!!!

4. We've actually run out of body parts to teach him, which is ridiculous. He knows: hair, eye, eye brow, nose, teeth, tongue, chin, neck, shoulder, cheek, belly, back, chest, elbow, arm, wrist, fingers, thumb, leg, knee, ankle, foot, toes...and two for the "rear end"...booty and butt!

5. After Barack's historic win, we headed to the grocery where there was a picture of him on a magazine. Emmy asked Aidan, "Who is that?", without a look he said, "That's Barack Obama." Wow, he's probably only seen a picture of Barack once or twice.

6. And finally, the music to the musical "Wicked"....he actually is singing words to the song in step with the singers. There's one where they two lead singers combine to say "yes!" and Aidan is always right on cue... Hopefully Wicked comes back to STL sometime, because we'd definitely take him...he'd be enchanted.

So that's my rant and rave of all things Aidan, we're so proud of him and all the developing milestones that he's exceeding. With practice, I'm sure he'll continue to impress us all!

Here's a few pictures from this weekend:

Where's my ball?....there it is!!!

Have a great night!

Ty, Emmy and Aidan
