Happy Birthday Aiden

Dear Aiden,
Wow, where do I begin? It seems impossible that you are already 6 years old!! You came into this world in your own little time (28 hour labor, 3 of those pushing!) and you still take your time now!! In fact we've given you the name Grandpa because of it!! But that's ok, you've made your on the go mommy slow down and spend more time in the moment like you do!!

You've grown so much in this past year!! You started out kindergarten attached to my leg and the teacher having to pry you off to within a month jumping out the car when I dropped you off without even a look back. I've always said you are my sidekick because before your sister it was always me and you! We did everything together and nothing makes you happier than pleasing your momma. It was evident this year in school because with every accomplishment your teachers always said the first thing you would say is my mom is gonna be so proud of me. I love that you love to make me proud, but a new thing we've tried to teach you this year is it's ok to make mistakes!! You don't have to always worry about making mommy proud. I want you to know that even if you mess up sometimes I'll still love you just the same!!

This year you've also learned a lot of new things and had alot of first. Like riding your bike without training wheels....even though you do have mommys temper and within 2 wipe-outs your screaming for training wheels. You've developed a love for all sorts of little creatures. I always find you outside digging for worms or trying to catch any sort of bug you can get your hands on. You've also lost 3 teeth with the front two teeth recently getting wiggly. I hope they come out at the same time so I can enjoy your toothless grin!

I still can't believe today you are 6! It's crazy how time flies!! Just know that mommy and daddy are so proud of the little guy you're becoming and try to slow down a little. Ever since you started school this year you're in a rush to learn everything all the big kids are doing and I secretly wanna keep you my baby forever!!

Love you Aiden!!
Mommy

Wordless wednesday

Growing Up Too Fast!!

So this weeks been a big one for my little guy with lists of firsts!! He started out the week loosing a tooth. Then in celebration of the end of the year his teacher had a skate party one afternoon for the whole class. This was his and Addisons first time. ThEy both fell....a lot and Aiden was done after about the third fall but Addison just kept going. She loved it!!

Then today was his last day of school!! Can't believe how fast this year has flew by and it's so sad how I've heard once they're in school the time flies and I can only imagine because it seems like yesterday I walked him into that school for the first time!! If you know Aiden he's always been my laid back, shy and quiet one but over the course of the year I'm so proud of how much he's come out of his shell!!!

I'm not gonna lie I'm thinking wow now I'm gonna have 2 kids at home all summer but it's nice to not be rushing every morning and with a kid in school it really feels like its summer once they get out!!! So tomorrow for his first day of summer break Aiden says he wants to make a list of everything he wants to do this summer....this should be interesting but since the entire summer last year I was taking 3 classes I'm determined to get as much out of our summer this year!!
