Yesterday we celebrated Aidans 4th birthday. It was the saddest birthday for me....realizing that I can't slow the growing process down. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home.
However, on the positive side, I have truly loved every stage of his life. I was surprised when he turned one, but there were so many things I loved about him being one. I couldn't believe when he turned two, but there were so many things I loved about Aidan being two. I blinked and he was three....and again was faced with many things that I loved about three. Now we are four. I look forward to the upcoming year and all of the smiles it will bring.
We began Aidans 4 year celebration yesterday with a new bright and shiny, red power rangers bike....complete with helmet, knee and elbow pads. We gave it to him before Paul left for work and Aidan was thrilled. At 7:30am, Aidan says, "Hey mommy, I have an idea. Why don't we get dressed and go for a bike ride." Since it WAS his birthday, how could I say no? So, off we went biking around the neighborhood (at, may I remind you, 7:30am)....stopping at every dandelion to pick for mommy. How sweet! He was so thrilled with the knee and elbow pads that I had to bribe him to take them off. For lunch, we met Daddy at work. Riding on the elevator to the 39th floor was very exciting. In the evening we went putt-putt golfing and had chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream. Aidan certainly takes after me with his love of chocolate. It was a perfect day!! Saturday we are having the grandparents over for a small birthday party....with a golf theme. Hmmmm, can you tell daddys influence already?
Happy Birthday, Aidan. We love you very much!

OK, you know I love you when you've made it into my Bloglines list. ;) Glad to see you joining the trend.
Has Aidan grown like 4 inches since I saw him in December, or what?? He looks so big on that bike! It's good to see he's whipping his mom into shape with 7:30 a.m. bike rides. Smart little man!
