Such a helper!

This is a copy of another email sent out to the college by the daycare director at Aiden's preschool. He is developing quite the reputation!

"We have a little one that is struggling with social skills…so this morning she was complaining about not having enough milk and was pouting (though there was enough in the pitcher and we always have more if needed) so a little guy sitting across from her, ever so kindly tried his best to help her…."do want me to help you…do you want me to get you some water…I can share my cup with you.”

What a little gentleman"

Aiden loves to be the "helper" and especially help those in need. I have no doubt that whatever he chooses to do with his life will involve helping others. He makes me so proud ♥

Liar Liar

A few weeks ago we went camping with some friends. Their daughter, Aubree, has been Aiden's "girlfriend" since before they could talk. He wants to do whatever she does, he talks about when she's not there, she says jump and he says how high...you get the picture. Most notably, he believes everything Miss Aubree tells him. While we were camping, Aubree told Aiden that if you lie, you will get a red dot on your forehead. This stuck with him and he has brought up the "red dot" story on a few occasions.
Now we'll jump to present day. Recently we changed daycare and Aiden has been going to the college daycare/preschool. He loves the center and all the activities they offer. As Grandma Jeanne works at the college, she received this email the other day from the daycare director (note this email was sent out college wide)

"I was visiting with a couple of our little boys. One was telling me a story. It was a bit far fetched so I asked him if the story was true. The other little guy kept trying to see the storyteller’s forehead and when he did get a look, he turned around to me and said “It is true…he is not lying because there is no red dot on his forehead. When you lie there is a red dot on your forehead….Aubree told me.”

So if you don’t want a red dot on your forehead, don’t lie"

Pretty funny. Aiden always keeps us on our toes and very entertained!

All I want for Christmas...

I was chatting with Kaylen tonight and asked her if she had been a good girl this year and if she thought Santa would bring her any presents. "Yes" was of course her answer. So, try to figure out what "Santa" would be shopping for this year, I asked her what she would ask Santa to bring her. Without even hesitating she says "Kleenex!"
Well, I have no idea where that one came from, but I guess shopping should be pretty easy this year.
