We laid low this weekend and just enjoyed being in Charlotte. But there were some interesting happenings all the same.
This past week Aiden’s class has been studying all aspects of building. They had a fun week of different building challenges that they used blocks and other building materials to construct. They also drew different famous buildings from around the work. On Friday, Aiden’s teacher had a cake made and picked the best picture in the class to put on the cake to celebrate the kids hard work. Guess whose picture she chose?
That’s right, Aiden’s Petronas Tower made the cake!
On Saturday, Aiden had a basketball game and he filled up a stat sheet – one block, one assist and one steal! Everyone went crazy when he got a clean block – pretty impressive if you ask me! Then we went to the Nature Museum and pretended to be bugs.
Meanwhile, Scott and Court went to his friend Lucas’ 4th birthday where he got to ride in some big diggers. A dream of a birthday party.
We also enjoyed general silliness like drinking out of a straw with our name on it! (Thanks to Jess Luke for that gift!)
And the biggest news of all. Court stopped sucking his thumb! At least temporarily. The dentist suggested we try a particular fingernail polish which is really bitter to help him stop. So far it has worked like a charm. He put that thumb in his mouth one time, grimaced and hasn’t done it again. I feel a little like I am putting him through torture by forcing him to stop but his teeth and palate and not forming properly so it’s time to take some action. He has been a trooper and hasn’t whined about it one time. Such a brave big boy he is becoming!
Two thumbs up!
