Aidan Marston William
Six years old and now a big brother!
It seems like I say this every year, but once again this was a big year for Aidan. It would have been pretty big anyway, with his finishing kindergarten and getting ready to head off to first grade. But those paled in comparison to his becoming a big brother! He absolutely loves little Kai, and has been an excellent brother to him:
While that was the big news, it wasn't the only highlight of Aidan's sixth year. During this year, Aidan...
Rode on Daddy's shoulders...
"Helped" with raking leaves...
Laughed with Ruth...
Rode a pony...
Dressed as a pirate...
Sang "Blueberry Hill"
Built stuff...
And then played with the stuff he built...
Skated with Grandma...
Moved into a brand new bedroom
Made snowballs with his cousin Alex...
Sledded with Maggie, sort of...
Played checkers...
Bowled...
Played basketball with the Purdue women's team...
Played basketballoon...
Played baseball...
Played baseballoon...
Played on his first soccer team...
Played a lot of tennis...
Learned about dry ice...
Sang "Lean On Me" with his kindergarten class
Took the occasional nap...
Had his tongue turn red...
Or maybe it was blue...
Played at the beach...
Sat by the harbor in South Haven...
Got real excited when they raised the drawbridge in South Haven...
Attended summer camp...
And, at the end of every day, passed out surrounded by a pile of books...
Of course, every birthday means we take a picture of Aidan in his Bear Chair. Head on over to this page to see the latest picture, and those from years past.
