Aiden Turns 3!

August always seems to be a very hectic month for the Farrell-Landers family. There are vacations, work obligations, end of the summer get-togethers and, of course, Aiden's birthday! He turned three. What an incredible little boy he is becoming. We are so proud of him. Here are some of the things that make me smile everyday about my son:

He loves all super heroes. Batman, Spider-Man and Superman are his favorite! You will often hear him say, "I am Batman." Or "Superman to the rescue!"
His favorite foods include chicken nuggets, bananas, and Nilla Wafers or aka "cookies".
His favorite beverage is milk!
His shoes are constantly filled with sand because his favorite preschool activity is playing outside.
He is becoming quite the conversationalist. He loves to ask questions and tell you stories.
Our little boy has quite the temper. There are often times that his temper tantrums will go much longer than anyone would expect.
He already has his first crush on girl, Lauren, from preschool. He often asks if Lauren can come over for a play-date or we can go to the park with Lauren. It is pretty adorable!
He adores his older sister. Their favorite game is playing Little Mommy and Little Daddy. It makes our household very interesting as Josh and I never quite know if they are calling for us or for their sibling. We are honored that they mimic their play after us though.
He is our little daredevil, never afraid to try something new or adventurous.
Aiden enjoys playing sports of all kinds ... soccer, t-ball, throwing balls of all kinds, etc.
He has started to dress himself. Mind you, he only wants to wear his "Batman" or "Spider-Man" outfits. We have had some really long, tearful mornings when those particular outfits were dirty.
Before going to bed every night, Aiden enjoys having a book read to him followed by watching a "song" on Daddy's phone.
