Jill, official older daughter of NewMexiKen, filed this report on Aidan, who will be five in September:
This morning, Aidan came into my bed at about 6:00am and woke me up by saying, “Aidan, reporting for duty.” Snuggle duty.
We took coloring books to the pool, to watch Mack’s swim team practice, and didn’t wear our bathing suits because it was so cold today. Since we didn’t get suited up, we forgot a hat for Aidan. He was so concerned, and although we sat in the shade at the pool, whenever he got up to go to the bathroom or go say hello to someone he held a coloring book across his face as a sun shield.
A few days ago our electricity went out in a storm. We played and watched the storm for about half an hour and then Aidan announced he was going to watch TV. I laughed, “Aidan, the TV won’t work. It uses power.” He replied, “The TV has powers?!”
Yes, magical, magical powers.
