Aidan participated in the Olympics at school today. He won a gold medal (I'm sure everyone did) and proceeded to have a seat on the award podium instead of standing. He loves looking at his medal, especially since it has an American flag on it!

Dear Baby Snatchers,
Please return our happy, darling baby. In return, you're welcome to take the stubborn, almost-two-year-old insomniac that has been living with us.
Sincerely,
The Penningtons

Today, Aidan participated in his first Trolley Run. He had to get up EARLY, so he arrived decked out in his Buzz Lightyear jammies. Look at the sweet faces on Aidan and Sophie:



Later, Aidan did a bit of research on what it must have been like for Andre the Giant to push a shopping cart:

Aidan loves Thursdays, when I teach piano from home. He especially loves the hour he gets to spend with my students Alex and Ben. It's so funny to watch boys of all ages relate to one another!

Tonight, Aidan and Daddy went to a MoDOT event in Lee's Summit that showcased lots of big trucks and cars. Here's a picture of Aidan, so in awe of a fire truck that he is ignoring the sweet robot right next to him.

Aidan's school artwork from March.

The Easter Egg was SO cool...they painted with evaporated milk and food coloring. You can't tell by the picture, but it dried to a shiny finish. He is so proud of it!

Happy Easter, Everyone!

Today Aidan went to an Easter Egg Hunt with Grandma Janine.



He doesn't appear too excited to meet the Easter Bunny...


Later, he tested out a police motorcycle...


...and rode in a fire truck!


He ended his fun day by going on a date with Sophie. He tried to go in for a kiss several times, but Sophie politely declined. Maybe on their third date!
