Birthday Boy!

Today is Aiden's 5th Birthday!! I was getting a little teary eyed this morning as reminisced with Aiden about his birth 5 years ago, that is until he asked exactly how he got in my tummy and then out. Luckily Rebekah saw a deer from the car window and the subject was quickly changed. Yesterday we told Aiden it was his last day of being 4. We made a huge deal out of it, so when he woke up this morning we measured him because we swore he had grown during the night. He loved it and we even wondered if shoes would fit since he was no longer 4. The most exciting part of the morning was not quite what we expected. Aiden's birthday surprise from us was a new Jets' jersey (reference back to the picture of Aiden in his 3T Jets' Jersey) and a fish tank (something he has been asking for for a long time). We're going tonight so he can pick out his own fish. You would think this would be the best part of the morning . . . nope---Aiden was MOST excited that he would be able to take a whole vitamin instead of half. As I told my friend Cindy that story, we both commented, "Oh, if life was only that simple!" I hope and pray that as Aiden goes from 5 to 6 and on, he continues to see life with those amazing rose colored glasses.


Happy Birthday Handsome Boy!
