Aiden is getting a big-boy bicycle for his birthday, a blue one complete with training wheels. He knows this, but he hasn't seen it yet. The truth is it's not quite assembled yet (read: still in the box). He has been counting down the days to "August Twenty-Five" and the glorious day when he will be Three! I have a feeling he's under the mistaken impression that when he's three, in addition to the new bike, he's going to get the keys to Dadoo's pick-up, unlimited tootsie roll pops, and a DVR to record every episode of Yo! Gabba! Gabba! ever made. Hmmm.
This past weekend he did get one step closer to his dreams when we bought him a bicycle helmet for his forthcoming wheels. Of course, it had to be blue. And he wore it everywhere, including an entire dinner at Friendly's and a two-hour car ride back from HaPa and Grandma's in Vermont. It was very cute.
Other fun in Vermont over the weekend included a nice dip at our old swimming hole on the Huntington River, harvesting crops in Grandma's garden, feeding the chickens, splitting and stacking wood for sugaring next year, and playing with lots of new-to-Aiden toys handed down from the Pottmeyers. Thank you Gerritt!!
