Aiden at 5.5

This little boy is becoming such a little man.




He gets so excited about fun things like school, soccer, and craft time. He loves to go into Felicity's room in the morning and help her out of her bed and they play pretend for an hour. They love to sit and look at books together. He is so comfortable on campus and at times I have to remind him that he can't just walk into apartments. He loves a good Disney day and knows his way around the parks like a pro. Core group on Thursday nights are one of his favorite times of the week and he loves going to Sunday school on Sundays, always greeting me with the story and memory verse for the week.

He is finding his words better now but he still gets upset and at times there are things thrown and remotes broken. He doesn't like time out or loss of privileges and those seem to bring on an attitude adjustment. While there are days that he eats constantly he hardly eats anything at school and the mention of eating in public brings on a meltdown of epic proportions. Jesse and I have talked about a therapist and I've read about childhood anxieties and it's common but frustrating for concerned parents. We are letting it run it's course right now and trying to redirect his anxiety.

Favorite Toys: Legos - everywhere!, action figures If there is a marker or glue stick to be found then you can bet this boy will find them and work for hours on projects.

Favorite thing about school - He would say being picked up, especially on a Ms. Ellie day. But he really enjoys art and music class. Academically he is doing well, the teacher says he likes to come in and get right to work.

Favorite food: Corn dog nuggets, Greek yogurt, broccoli, smoothies, couscous, popcorn, smarties

When he grows up he wants to be a construction worker.

Where did the time go? I am so amazed at how much he has grown!
