Yes, it is that time again...Time for another episode of "Aidan and Emma's Update"!! The blog-isode that you just can't miss...especially if you are a grandparent or an aunt!!Emma:
Well, she is addicted to watching "The Letter Factory" by Leap Frog. She LOVES it and wants to watch at least once a day. I don't mind because she is really beginning to learn her letters. That video is amazing!! I should be a sales rep for it since I always plug how good it is. It really is amazing.
She is also really beginning to pick-up the songs from Promiseland. She is now in the Little Lambs room (2 year olds) and they do a story, some songs and a craft. She comes home singing them, which is soooo cute. (Especially when she sings "hawewuya"...It is too adorable!)
She has my personality for the most part. She is not as high strung as I can be (enter Aidan) but she is very stubborn and wants everything done her way. She walks to the beat of a different drum, too, which is really cute to watch. I am thinking that she is a good mixture of both Mommy and Daddy (musically speaking), since she has perfect rhythm (enter Jonathan) and she LOVES to sing, too.
She has started to play on the computer while sitting on Mommy's lap. Yes, at 2 1/2. That's about the age Aidan started, too. What a different generation than even my generation. I learned how to use computers in elementary school playing on those really old Apple IIe computers...With floppy disks...
Aidan:
Well, Aidan is into science right now. Anything to do with weather, space, tornadoes, volcanoes...He loves figuring out how things work and learning new things. He loves learning. (I predict either a career in education or performing!)
Yes, he is our little performer. Give him an audience and there is no stopping him. I mean, he blabbers on about things that don't make any sense, but to him it all makes perfect sense.
He is LOVING Kindergarten right now. He has made some good friends, especially Ashley. He likes the fact that he has to be so independent. (And that there are no bullies in his class like last year!!)
He has been an excellent helper for Mommy. He's been helping out with Maggie and Emma when Mommy gets a bit busy. He likes it, I think because it makes him feel all grown up. I like it, too. It shows how mature he is.
We had his Parent Teacher interview last week and the teacher praised him about how wonderful he was. (Of course she did ask about his temper...We all know that about Aidan!! I wonder where he gets that from....) Anyway, he is doing so well so far.
------------------
I am blessed to have such good children. I mean, I know they have their moments. Even I have mine!! But overall they are great children and I should be so thankful for them being in my life. What a gift from God!! What an awesome responsibility.
Now if only I could pass over the teenage years....
