Little Drummer Boy

Aidan loves music and we love to encourage it in any way we can and that includes percussion instruments. So here for your visual and listening pleasure are a picture and video of Aidan and his drumming to Guitar Hero with Mommy on bass and Daddy on guitar. You will love it. Only too bad we are not playing Miss Murder and only silly old Slow Ride. Mommy likes Miss Murder much better.

The First of Three

Aidan will have three Advent Calendars this year.  My mom sent him one in the mail today.  It is very simple scene of Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus in the stable with assorted animals all around.  I put a bulliten board in the hall beside the fridge for Aidan’s calendars and whatever else we might decide to put there.  It is hung low so that he can have full use of it.  His head comes just to the middle or a little higher.  I plan to have all three calendars there.

I think that in January I am going to start doing a calendar time every morning with Aidan.  He will learn the day, date and maybe a bit of the schedule.  I will see how this goes, but I think he will like having a learning time every morning.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

 

My name is Aidan. I am 2 and a 1/2 years old. I live with my Mommy and Daddy in Vancouver. My Mommy is helping me write this letter. I want to know if Santa is reading a book? I love books. My Mommy and Daddy read me stories.

 

How are you and all the elves and reindeer? I would like would like to hear some stories about the North pole and Santa Claus.

 

I would like a few things for Christmas. I would like a few books about trains. I would like the sheep in the picture.
