I wouldn't say life has exactly calmed down yet, but the whirlwind of change is now fluttering at a breeze. Enough, at least, for me to sit and write a post while Aidan is taking his nap.
This is going to be the last week Aidan and I are together as a daily team. I start work next week and Aidan starts full time daycare. He attended a few afternoon sessions last week and has been this morning. I'm sure the transition will be a lot easier for him than me.
Anyway, I thought I'd blog every day this week on our last few weekdays together.
Yesterday we both attended our first 2 year old's birthday together. N's dad M, who we both met at a library reading group, invited us and we had a great time. Everyone commented on what a great a eater Aidan was, probably because he was eating pizza, fries, and cake, which he has had very little of in his young life.
The party was at Chucky Cheese's a huge restaurant/amusement arcade designed for toddlers. It was crazy and massively overwhelmly chock full of kids. It took the little lad a about half an hour to get into it but once he'd had his food he was ready for the slides, rides and meeting new kids.
After the party Aidan took a long nap, then we Skyped Granddad and Nan in the UK. He kept them entertained and gave them a crawling tour of our new apartment.
After that he decided to continue in his search for new places to hang out in our place. He found the corner store cupboard. And after a few grunts and groans he got the door open, went back for his blanket and in between a few book readings with dad he made it his new den.
After this he splattered his shirt with spaghetti, sorry, ate his spaghetti, then took a bath. Bath-time was full of splashing fun with a game of bath-ketball thrown in for good measure.
