Aidan at 3 and a half

Here's what Aidan's up to and saying at the moment:

We had a recent parent teacher conference at Aidan's daycare.  We were told that he is very much loved by his teachers and has quite a few good friends - Mckenna, Sophie, Brady and Jack.

He has his own words for things like 'sheener' for Machine. He loves looking at sheeners.

He also says things like, "I want to do it by own myself." (And he often wants to do things on his own, by himself at the moment).

He loves mopping and sweeping. He actually loves to have any 'job to-do' including being the 'line leader', 'door holder' and will pretty much do anything if you say you have a job for him.

He started using made up words, particularly in response to his mommy and daddy. 'Okay Teetee' or 'Hello Kaka'.

He's learned some bad words from school, too - pee and poo. He knows he shouldn't say them and when asked the other day if he'd said one of them, he answered, "No, daddy. I don't say pee-pee, poo-poo, or you shud-uppa-your-face."

He loves to sing, especially to CDs in the car. His favorite that he knows all of the words to - after one time listening is called 'Cars and Trucks.' It's fitting. He loves chasing tucks on the way to school, especially when he and daddy have been sneeky and taken mummy's car - he thinks that's very funny.

He also has a collection of 'friends' which include 4 kittens - Guli, Andran, Trinity and Uza. Petty and Jacob were the original ones. They're dogs. He also a deer who sometimes gets called a giraffe.
