Just wanted to take a minute and note some of the funny things Aidan does/has done in the past few months before I forget. . .
- Laying a miniature baby doll in her tiny crib, Aidan pulled the small blanket over her, held her little hand, bowed his head, and said, "Pray." He's implementing his own night time routine during play time :)
- Aidan has an OCD streak it seems. When he lines up his cups, the spouts have to face the same direction. Cars, animals, trains, all have to be put in straight lines. He cleaned up some spilled pens yesterday and had to insert them all in the same direction into the box--meticulously checking each one before he put it in, cap facing down. When shoes come off outside, he must match them together neatly beside one of his parents' pairs along the wall. Thank God for someone who has an orientation toward neatness in our family, the Lord knows we needed at least one person like this. . . ;)
- Nearly everything we do finds its mirror in Aidan. I spotted him holding a little toy animal the other day to his chest, gently rocking up and down on his toes to try to make it "sleep." In the early days after Ava was born, he carried a baby doll around often, and at times would hold its head to his chest and insistently command, "Drink!"
- Branching out into storytelling yesterday, Aidan recounted some important events that had just transpired. He had just pulled down a plate that had pacifiers and other sterilized baby things on it, and they scattered all over the floor--which, to his dismay, was followed by a spanking for doing said previously forbidden action. After settling down from his crying, he animatedly retold the happenings in his own words: "Paa-i! Down! Panking!" (translation for all you who don't live with him: Paci! Down! Spanking!)
We thank God for this sweet boy (and our darling Ava as well) and look forward to seeing what God does in and through him in the future, if He tarries.
