(Aidan's) Monday 10

So today my devotions were Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer."

And today I am choosing to think about positive things with Aidan because he has had a few bad episodes today, I know his heart is good. I know I can easily go down a path of finding all the bad but I'm not. I'm stopping to reflect on the good.

So here are Aidan's top Monday 10 just for him...

1. Laying in bed with him and listening to him explain his lego boxes. "The street sweeper guy has the same shirt as the garbage truck guy but they have different faces and different hats."
2. Watching him do a "y-turn" with his jeep in the driveway and him totally getting it.
3. Aidan seeing Strawberry Shortcake fruit snacks in the grocery store and wanting to get them for his (girl) friends.
4. Bringing me a leaf in from the backyard and telling me it's for when I pray.
5. Looking out the back door and seeing him sitting on top of his cozy coupe just chilling.
6. Calling Micah "bub-buh"
7. Telling me "that's great mom".
8. His questions of life..."how does the lawn mower cut the lawn?"
9. Telling me all about how he wants to be a daddy when he grows up.
10. Cinnamon Toast.

A Bicycle Made For 3?

In an effort to be more green around here we have started biking more. Jeremy has been commuting to work on his bike, and we have integrated family bike rides into our everyday life...grocery shopping was even attempted and successful! One night last week I was out for the night so Jeremy took matters into his own hands and hooked the boys up one after another. Aidan on his new tag along bike (total hit) and Mikey in the Burley. They had a grand time going to the parks (yes multiple) and getting donuts from the gas station. It just goes to show that we don't need a mini van after all :)
