happy birthday aiden

Aiden turns two today. We had a mini celebration at his playgroup, and tonight he'll be opening all of his presents. Yay! Happy birthday wee man.

poley cow!

I'm not sure where Aiden picked up this gem, but he's been saying it quite frequently and watching for the giggles from us. We've also been playing his favourite game which is still "Where's Aiden". He hides (in plain sight) with a sheet or pillow over his head, then says "Where's Aiden". We then wander around pretending to look for him all over the place. We talk to ourselves as we do so "I wonder if he's gone shopping with Bow Wow..." to which he usually replies "yes". Last night we were playing the same game, he asked Mae and I to hide. Once we had, we started the game "Where's Mummy and Daddy?" to which he replied "That's a very good question!"

I shot a roll of black & white film while Ally was here... some of the best prints are on their way to NZ.

Beautiful, beautiful boy.

happy national day

For Singapore's National Day, Aiden's playgroup held a little celebration - some dancing and songs (in English and Chinese), and the kids got to dress up in their "dream occupation" costumes. We figured with his love of CD players, he'd be a natural for "Superstar DJ" so we made him a little DJ outfit.

We think Aiden might make a good DJ one day. As for Elliot, that's a difficult question. Perhaps from the picture below he'd make a good Supreme Ruler.
