Update on Aiden - Summer 2011

Aiden also weighs 43 pounds but is about 9 inches shorter then Joshua. He's still a big boy compared to some of his friends. People forget how young he is.  We're still potty training. He's doing better but we're definitely not out of the woods yet!  His favorite thing is to sit on his potty for #2 while playing on Justin's iphone.  We are in the middle of the terrible 3's.  Seem to have more attitude and outbursts then before.  He's got quite the potty mouth as well with making comments about poopy butt, etc. He thinks he's quite the joker with this talk. 
He's about to embark on a new school as well. We decided to move him closer to home to make the commuting easier now that Justin's office moved.  It's more expensive but still a highly rated daycare.  We've visited once but the real test will be this week when we drop him off. It may take some getting use to but eventually he will do well there.  He's still obsessed with Dora, Dino Dan (Dimo Dam as Aiden says it), watching many shows actually.  Joshua can be distracted into doing other things like crafts, coloring and workbooks, etc. but Aiden is a bit harder to distract from tv watching.  He really likes the jumpy place - aka Jumpin Jack Sports... His favorite game right now is Hullabaloo - he loves playing that either by himself or with others.  He loved his music class at his current daycare so we hope that he gets the same experience at his new place. His favorite instrument was the drums.  His favorite book at home is this Alaska book that has many different animal sounds that Grandma brought back from her cruise, 1-2-3 book and The mouse and the big hungry bear/strawberry book (I forget the title), and good night moon. He can almost read the entire book back to you actually. 
Enjoy the pictures of Aiden! Oh and Aiden hates getting his haircut so I've been trimming the bangs in the front - why his hair looks long in these pics!
