Party Boy!


Aidan has been partying for the last two weekends!! And he has been loving it! This seems to be the birthday time of year for the kids in his class. He has had lots of invitations. Unfortunately we haven't been able to make all of them, but for the past two Saturdays we made the time for two.

The first was for a set of twin girls in Aidan's class, Bethany and Jadyn. He adores these girls and they are sweet. They came to Aidan's party and they returned the favor by inviting him to theirs.

Their party was at the Explorium. This is Lexington's Children's Musuem. It is fun and while Aidan had been there when he was a baby, he certainly didn't remember and this trip was all brand new to him!

He LOVED it! He absolutely ate it up. He wanted to do everything! I am not even sure he had a favorite section of the museum - he did it all. He was moving so fast I could hardly keep up - upstairs, downstairs, in this room and then that room.


The party started with a craft (making a drum), then cake, then play time. He was a bit crabby at first because he just wanted to get to playtime,
but pretty soon he was enjoying making his drum and visiting with friends. It was really well done and I think we are going to have his party there next year!

This past weekend Aidan was invited to his best friend Luke's party, again at the Explorium. This time, he knew the ropes and knew exactly which parts of the museum he wanted to go to and in what order. And, of course it had to be with Luke. Those two were joined at the hip!!

The craft for Luke's party was a magic trick. Well, not really but the kids thought it was. It was taking certain substances and mixing them together to come up with something new. They made slime and snow. It was so funny to see them mixing it up and not following directions!! Aidan, and most of the children, ended up putting all of the ingredients together so they had blue snowy slime! It was cute!

Playtime was fun. He discovered the bubble room and the Dino games on the computer. Aidan also enjoyed all of the waterplay, and he didn't even get that wet!

So, that's the story of Aidan's big weekend fun, times two. Things are gonna slow down for him this weekend - I wonder if he will notice!?

Sounds like this kid knows how to party!! And, could he be any more adorable? I don't think so...just an Aunt's opinion :)

Thanks for all the photos. It's fun to see him in action!! I love the look on his face during the 'magic trick' craft.

Oh, btw, the bubble 'thing' makes more sense to me now...I'm not sure I got it when Olivia was in it, in the Girl Scout event photo...duh?!

Love,
Aunt Kate
