Happy birthday, Aiden!

THREE. That sounds so old.

• Aiden is still hard to understand (I was hoping this would be easier by three), but he definitely talks more.
• He loves fruit snacks, milkshakes/smoothies (both of which he calls "ice ream"), and any chips he can get his hands on.
• He loves living at Papa's house now, and he has started calling my mom "Gama," which is weird after calling her "Ah" for so long.
• He likes to tell us "I wake up!" when he gets out of bed in the morning, and he is a total milk fiend.
• He does not like to be in pictures, but he will sometimes humor me with a very cheesy smile.

• He LOVES cars, which hasn't changed in the past year.
• His newest phrase that he says a lot is "I don't want it" (not my favorite thing).
• He loves sea animals, especially sharks.
• He has started to get excited about seeing his friends at Nursery, but he has a hard time cleaning up the toys when it is time... he always wants to play more.

• He likes Curious George cartoons and reading President Monson's Christmas Train book that his Grandma Snow got us for Christmas.  
• He likes to sit on my lap after work, but not right away because he is usually involved in playing something and seems to have a long attention span, so transitioning activities is hard for him.
• He loves to play outside and go for walks, but he runs more than he walks.  Sometimes he just runs around in circles.
• He hates diaper changes but hates sitting on the potty even more... this is a lose-lose right now.
• Lately he has decided that he wants a pet elephant in his backyard. Good luck, Aiden.

Thanks to everyone who made Aiden’s birthday so special! I know that he felt very loved.
