Aidan counts down his birthday like I do- and I both love it. I love how excited he is. I love how fun he his, how smart he his, how compassionate he is and how empathetic he is. I love having conversations with him. I love hearing about what interests him (even if I can’t always understand the latest video game/science puzzle/math challenge).
He has a great group of friends, he’s doing well in school and is enjoying his after school activities. He can’t wait to get to jujitsu, enjoys practicing his piano piece and really likes his story writing class. Â And I’ve never met anyone who loves to read more. Â He mades us proud in so many ways. And now he is 11.
Aidan’s birthday was a three day celebration. He first had his friends party- a laser tag party with his besties including a couple of girls he has known since first grade. They had lots of fun playing both laser tag and also in the arcade. One friend even gave Aidan his points so he could choose a bigger prize. Aidan really like his Mario cart cake too!
Because of Brendan’s rehearsal schedule he couldn’t make the laser tag party and tech week was starting on Aidan’s birthday. So we had a special family celebration at Aidan’s favorite place- Unos. Bren even told the waitress it was Aidan’s birthday and they snag to him.
Aidan’s birthday started with him waking up to a silly string fight! It was messy and funny! He brought cupcakes to school for his friends and then we had our family party at the house. Chris made and incredible “Luigi death stare” cake. It impressed Aidan!
His favorite gifts included Lego (and gift cards to buy more), Nerf guns and tinker boxes.
