"Booty" sleep

Tug of War

Aiden loves to watch Madagascar 2. He has a stuffed zebra, Marty, from the movie. Well, he makes it dance and sing, which drives Savannah crazy--she thinks it is her toy. She often grabs Aiden's toys and brings them to us, thinking she will get a treat for "cleaning up." This day, however, she and Aiden got in a tug of war match over Marty.

Barbecue

Aiden does not like getting his hands dirty.

A fellow 2nd grade teacher, Ryan, and his family had a barbecue this weekend at their house (It's an amazing log cabin that he built himself!). Aiden had a great time getting playing on their son Christian's tractors and chasing the dogs. Kym Drum, of Kym Drum Photography (also a teacher at my school and a workout buddy) took these shots of Aiden.

Playing and Being Silly

It always helps when you stick out your tongue.

Smell my feet!!!!

Showing my teeth!

That is just too funny!

Sure I can build with my toes!

Just playing on the floor.

Are you sure that Easter is over? I've still got plenty of room in this basket!

Easter Egg Hunt

Getting my face fainted.

Chasing the shadow of my balloon.

Waving to the Easter Bunny....from far away....VERY far away!

Me and Daddy in our shades!

We go there too late for the hunt, but we had a good time anyway! I even got to see Miss Greater Greer again...I love her!

Cheese!

I don't know when or why it started, but anytime you say "Cheese" when taking a picture of Aiden, he puts on this huge grin that shows all of his teeth. He usually grins so wide that his eyes close!

St. Patrick's Day

This was about the extent of our St. Patty's Day Celebration....taking pictures in Target because I was too cheap to buy the hat! We did wear green and went to the talent show at school, where Aiden danced the night away and wrapped the current Miss Greater Greer beauty queen around his little finger.

Cat in the Hat!

Hat's off to the Cat in the Hat!


Today we went to McCalister Square to Lapsit's Cat in the Hat day. Aiden had a ball! He got his face painted, and I was very impressed that he let them do it AND that he didn't try to rub it off! He also got 3 free board books to add to his collection, including Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Corduroy. He got to play musical instruments while listening to Dr. Seuss books, watched a puppet show, listened to songs, and made (ok, tore up) a Cat in the Hat hat! We will definitely be going back to this event next year!

Snow Day!

I can't believe it snowed in March! What a surprise when we woke up and snow covered the ground! Aiden was very excited to be out in his first snow. He was a little hesitant to do much at first, but quickly learned that snow is fun! He sat in the snow, moved it around, and even tried to catch flakes on his tongue! His favorite things to do where to hear the snow beneath his feet as he ran (and fell) and for Savannah to try to play with him in the backyard. He kept calling her to come play, then giggled and tried to run away when she came. Aiden was very upset when we came inside. He is so looking forward to another snowy day!

Temper, Temper!

Aiden's temper has been showing up more often lately. One minute he'll be playing happily, laughing and smiling, then instantly begin crying, stomping his feet, etc. Hopefully he'll be able to communicate his frustrations more as he learns more words.
