My how the kids grow, too fast, as everyone has always told me. I wanted to update on these two ever growing little lives that run around my house and at some points drive me crazy. Today I'll start with Aiden.
Aiden is such a smart boy, i love as his speech improves all he is able to communicate to us and how funny he is. He's spend three and a half years taking in the world and I'm sure he will spend the next many years to come telling us all about what he thinks of it. He loves going to his playgroup Monday and Wednesday morning, he is doing so well with all his therapy and next fall with go to a Pre-K program.
Aiden loves to sing, dance, and play his guitar. Many times a day we find him asking us to "play in the band" with him. Church is a big part of his week, he looks forward to going to “sing at church”. He looks up to our worship leaders and really wants to be like them. He loves to wear his plaid shirt, because in some unwritten rule to lead worship you must love plaid. Both Anthony and Tara are great with Aiden, I love to see his interact with each of them.
The other day I had a moment with Aiden that I hope to never forget. As mentioned above Aiden really likes to listen to music and recent has become obsessed with the song Join in the Sound By Brother’s Mcclurg., he has so graciously renamed it to “tune my heart” however. I’m actually surprised at how much of the song he can sing by himself. The other day when he was singing he asked why we tune our hearts to God. I got the awesome chance to help the seed of Jesus’s love for him grow deeper in his heart. He didn’t want to ask Jesus in his heart right then, but someday soon he said. My heart grew that day, greatful for the love of Jesus that is growing in my son. I can’t wait for the day he ask me to help him “tune his heart” to Jesus forever.
He adores his little sister, now that she is getting older their relationship is only growing stronger and more fun to watch. He loves watching all of Melina’s milestones and being her biggest supporter! Even with simple things he always is telling her “I’m so proud of you Nina.” It melts my heart daily to see them together, interacting and the love they share. On the flip side Aiden is realize all his stuff is not so “safe” anymore. He gets frustrated at times when he wants to play by himself, but learning to live with her, and future siblings (no that’s not a hint) and share are great lessons.
While I love watching my little baby boy grow up into a boy it saddens me a little as he needs me less and less in life. I know he will always need his mom, but in other ways and I’m so excited that I’m doing something right and he is becoming so independent. He has started telling me “you my babe mommy, you my babe.” While I think he listens to Brandon and my conversations more than we think, I find it cute! While most of the time I feel the love overflow from him, a month or so ago for the first time ever he told me “I not love you anymore mommy.” Man, talk about being broken instantly. As Aiden gains his independence he has started learning the power of words. We’ve sense gotten over that little stage and I’m so thankful, it took all I had to deal with that for two days.
I’m so blessed to be his Mommy and look forward to what the future has in store for him and his life! I leave you with a few snapshots of my favorite little man!
