Sierra has been making more headlines on the blog lately, but Aidan deserves some love too! He's been amazing - talking up a storm, being a great big brother, and getting potty trained! It's been a few weeks now since he wore diapers at all. He's been perfect at playgrounds, going shopping, at daycare, in the car - the only thing we're still working on is night-time, so he has pull-ups just for then. He's funny, after he says "Chocolate chips???" and excitedly goes to collect his prize.


He still loves taking pictures with the "lights" (self-timer). Here's a couple of cute ones from yesterday:


On Friday we spent the day in NH, and it couldn't have worked out better. I was a little nervous trying to do two things in one day, including over 3 hours of driving, but figured it could work - we'd see Grandma and Grandpa in the morning, and then Brittany, Brian, and Baby Lucas in the afternoon. The kids were amazing and it was so much fun!!

Grandpa and Grandma and I took turns helping Aidan through the new indoor playground in Merrimack - we had a blast! I think it had been a while since they got to crawl around and go down a slide, but they loved it. With a big family it's nice when the kids occasionally get one-on-one grandparent time.



After a while at the playground, we headed back to the house for a little more playing, some lunch, and nap time.

Aidan loved singing and dancing along with the keyboard, it's so cute what he does!

We got a new travel bed for Aidan to use at Disney, and figured we'd give it a try here first - he went right to sleep.

And Sierra too!

Then it was time to head to Brittany's house in Concord to meet Lucas, who was just a week old! He was super cute, and they're all doing great. We brought a Dream Dinner with us, and the kids were well-behaved the whole time we were there. They usually are, but it's not fun at all when they're not!

Then it was 90 minutes home, just in time for bed for the kids. What a wonderful day!
