Aidan's first crush

Last night, right before the boys went to bed, I was feeding Anna and watching E! True Hollywood Story about Kelly Ripa (don't judge me - haha!). Aidan came in to play with Anna, and he stopped to watch TV (of course!). He looked at the screen and said, "That girl's kind of cute." :-)

Religious Education from a 4 year old...

Aidan has been very interested in talking about God lately - mostly related to how big God is. So, here's a summary of his talk with me today in the car...

God is bigger than everything. He's bigger than you, the trees and dinosaurs. He's even bigger than Jesus. Jesus is God's kid. God picked Jesus out to be his kid. God is everywhere. He's in this car. He's at our house, too - on top of the roof.

Recents Pics

Here are a few recent pictures of the boys and a few close-ups of Anna. We can't wait for everyone to get to meet her.

Self-discipline

The other day, the boys were fighting in the playroom. These fights rarely end without violence, and this fight was no different. As Jared walked in to break up the fighting, Aidan was rubbing his head and Austin was walking out of the room saying, "Time out." Austin put himself in the time out chair. Jared, stifling laughter, just walked out because his work had been done for him.

The next day, I witnessed the same thing happen. The problem is (well, besides the obvious hitting and throwing toys problem), Austin puts himself in time out and then stands up after about five seconds. Apparently, he thinks these infractions against Aidan are only worthy of five seconds worth of punishment. He will immediately apologize to Aidan without being told, though. Baby steps, I guess. :-)
