Aiden

Child # 1, where do I begin....

Now 7, Aiden is wrapping up his summer vacation and getting ready to learn all about World and Ancient History at his new school, Rocklin Academy. Although this will be a new school for Aiden, we have no worries about Aiden making new friends (and girlfriends for that matter). He is going into 2nd grade, but is facing a curriculum beyond the traditional 2nd grade class. His teacher, Mrs. Crouch, is wonderful (I have been working with her all week), and is excited about having Aiden in her class. At the end of Aiden's 1st grade year, he was reading well over 100 wpm. He definitely shares his dads (and grammas) passion for reading!

While Aiden's 3rd spring season of baseball has come to an end, he will start playing his 2nd season of fall ball this month. Last season, with the Giants, he finished up the season on the mound, and at 3rd base. With the help of coach dad, he has really improved his game. We are excited to see how he does this fall.

Two weeks ago, during our camping trip, Aiden lost his 2nd tooth. The tooth fairy came all the way out to the middle of nowhere to bring him $5! Four days later he lost another tooth right next to the last one he lost....the missing 3 teeth in a row makes for quite a large hole, and silly smile.

When Aiden is not in school or playing baseball he loves to spend his time playing with his brother, riding his skateboard, playing Wii, and watching Drake & Josh. Where does he find the time?
