Monday was my last day of school until August. Aidan got out last Thursday. This summer I will have Brody every Tuesday, Ricky and Matthew Monday through Thursday, and Aidan will go to summer school for five weeks (half-days) Monday through Thursday beginning next week. Here are some early shots of summer:
Aidan picked flowers for me today; this is his first bouquet for his Mommy, so it's very special. This afternoon I went to check on what he was doing, and found him very busy making a book for Daddy.
Here is what the book, called All About Daddy, says:
I work on the race car
I smile at Aidan
I sleep with the dog
I go to the store
I eat eggs
I play with Aidan
I play fetch with the dog
I eat bacon
I work every day
I watch the Red Sox
Remember, this from a child who has only been in America since October of 2008 and knew no English beforehand. He just turned six in April. This is amazing! Our first daughter could not write one sentence until June of her first grade year, and she had been to both preschool and kindergarten and English was her first language. She is certainly no slouch academically-she definitely caught up-but Aidan is really very bright.
