Got home early on Friday to get the Mrs out a bit early to beat traffic. Of course the Blue Angels and Seafair traffic snarled Mercer Island and I90 from here to Chicago (slight exaggeration). Boy and I immediately went swimming. Swimming means running from pool to hot tub and back several hundred times. Then off to Red Robin. The boy drops his crayon on the ground - goes to grab it and comes up eating a french fry. We have yet to receive our dinner.... EEWWWWWW. Aidan got to go to sleep in daddy's bed. More for me than for him. I miss the Mrs. Saturday.. Little Gym..Lots of workout for both of us running around. Unfortunately, there is no class for the 440-444 month age group, so I will have to live vicariously through him. Then.. to McDonalds for lunch. Special treat with dad. After lunch, packed him into the stroller and took him to the Lid park. Aidan played like a mad man for over an hour during his naptime. It is amazing to watch this former tadpole climb and run like any other kid. I am trying like crazy not to helicopter around him. Then... off to I90 where the WSP shut down the highway for the Blue Angels show. Watched the planes 'fly upside down and really loud'. Naptime.. then off to his surrogate gramma's house where Aidan's best friend Bella lives (a dog). Sleep in dad's bed cuz I still miss the Mrs. Sunday, breakfast with dad. Lunch on the water in seattle at Anthony's next to a cruise ship.. a HUGE pirate ship according to the boy. Then off to teh Mariner's game. Lori was worried about nap time... well.. as the pics indocate... he did fine. from the bottom of the first inning to the 7th inning stretch... he was out. Then running around the bases with dad. Now... this is the sapy interlude.... I grew up in... well.. less than ideal circumstances to say the least. Aidan's start has been well-documented on this blog. So in the course of a little more than a year.. Aidan has tackled dad on the 50 yard line of Quest Field (seahawks stadium) and we ran the bases at Safeco field. Unimaginable as I grew up. Unthinkable given his start. Yet here we were, two 'kids' running around the bases. One of Aidan's greatest gifts to me will be his ability to bring out the little boy in a man that has aged significantly over the last three years. He will be a much older boy before he can even grasp how much I love him for this. Home to swim for an hour, dinner, read... and mom gets home! What a fantastic weekend. Now... dad has to try to get his weekend of fun sometime too :-) Just to recap Dad’s day with the boy…
