My baby is FOUR!

I can't believe my little dude is four years old. I am grateful everyday for laughter he provides. He truly is a hilarious guy, and he makes life soooo interesting. He is adored by all, and we love every little moment.... even the crazy ones. He is so looking forward to being a "big boy"... but, he will always, always, always be my baby.

Preschool and Playgroup

This week, Aidan's schedule got a little busier... (for which he is very happy!!) He got to start PRESCHOOL and PLAYGROUP. This to him is VERY exciting... he has known for a while that he would go to school when he got "big". He has a birthday later this month, and we have talked extensively of things that will happen when he turns 4... he'll sit in a booster, he'll eat green beans, he'll "not be a baby, but he'll still love me"...

So, when we got in the car to go to school on Tuesday, he asked me, "I am big now??" He's SO cute! He watches his siblings do all sorts of fun things and has been left behind many, many, times. It is finally HIS turn. He IS getting big. I can hardly believe it. I am so happy that he will "still love me". I also LOVE that when I asked him what he did in preschool, he replied, "No, Mommy... first YOU tell me what you did ALL BY YOURSELF!" :)

AND... playgroup! What can I say? I'm a huge fan of playgroups. One morning you get to play with your child and their friends... every other morning, I can do any number of things for 2 1/2 hours!!! (how do I choose??... gym, work in the classroom, scripture class, any kind of shopping ALONE, etc....) It's definitely a win-win. The kids and I had a blast yesterday and I was almost as excited for it to start as Aidan. YEAH!

One more thing... I asked Aidan what his "job" was this week in school... he said he was the "Flag Floob". I asked him to repeat. WHAT??? "The Flag Floob", he said... "You know, when you say 'Under God' with your hand on your heart." OH! I said, "You did the 'Flag Salute'!" "Yea", he said with a smile.
