It's after breakfast. Aiden is wearing his Batman costume - ready for "costume day" at school. He woke up crying at 2 am, "it's taking too long to be morning...I want to go to school now." Costume day is his favorite. In this picture he's pouting because we're not leaving for school fast enough even though Daddy skipped his morning run just to get him there earlier. Aiden and his superhero buddies Jacob, Jack, and Nick will be battling the bad guys all day long.
Sky is not feeling great. She's congested, has a slight fever, and a sore throat....all just in time for our trip to Maui on Sunday. Poor little girl. She's going to be getting a lot of tlc today...maybe she can kick this cold in 24 hours.
...and the Nickster. Yesterday was a breakthrough day for Nicolas. He become MUCH more assertive. He makes sure you know EXACTLY what he wants and what he wants is to go OUTSIDE! As you're walking out the door with him he leans forward to make you go faster. He cheers, he screams, and he twists and turns in excitement. On the other hand, as we're coming back in the house he protests - he clinches his fists, he pushes his chest out, he gets red faced, and let's out "Aaahhh!!!"...and if you're not careful you might even catch a smack on the face. He's lucky he's only 9 months old.
He also started to standup more for himself with his brother and sister. Just let one of them try to take a toy out of his hands.
Aiden, waiting for specail times is sooooo hard. Sometimes it feels like time isn't moving and darn it, there is no way to rush it along. We all have to learn to wait and be patient even though it's the hardest thing to do. When the date, day ,time come to be it is very special and then, darn it all, it goes too quickly.
ReplyDeleteHope costume day was everything you wanted it to be. Thanks for saving the world from all the bad dudes out there.
