Recently out of the mouth of Mr. Aidan:
“I wanna go up the esca-elevator!” Pointing to the escalator at the mall.
“Mommy WATCH! Aidan do it with teacher Dana!” grabbing my hand and sitting me down on the sidelines in Little Gym because he wanted to be a big kid and do his warmup without mommy’s help.
“I love you forever” after reading the book before bed with Daddy.
“Let’s go pay for this” after picking up pretty much anything that catches his eye in any store lately.
“Maybe for Christmas” which is what I have been telling him with pretty much every toy he wants recently.
Below are a couple of cute shots in the last week or so. We took him to the Mariners’ last game of the season and he fell asleep on Brandon near the end of the game.
And here he is out at the driving range with Dad. Brandon says he is getting pretty good. 
A visit to the zoo with Aidan’s friend Jaymin. Jaymin is also an almost 28 weeker almost exactly 1 year younger. They really enjoyed each other as you can see by the game of chase that ensued.
I want a bunch of rope swings for my house. Maybe I could tie them up to the porch and play underneath the porch?
Yes, you are correct. The pictures are wicked cute.
Holy Moly! that last picture is just a blur because they’re goin’ so quick! My nickname for Aidan: Flash!
It’s so fun (and interesting, and sometimes awkward) when they are asserting their independence at that 3-4 yr old stage. It’s so good you are recording some of the cute things he says because frankly, it just doesn’t get any better than this!
p.s. I’m noticing that ya’ll are in long-sleeved clothing already. WOW! We are still doing shorts and t-shirts down here! I’d love to feel a little chill in the air!
Wow all the stuff that Aidan is saying! We’re still 2 and some 3 wording it around here, oh well it’ll come with time right?
The picture of him sleeping on dad is just too sweet!!!
