A New (Yet Old) Friend

Aiden and Elmo....quite the odd couple if you ask me. We got Aiden Elmo for his first birthday and he RARELY ever acknowkedges the little red talking doll. In fact, I think he's only played with him maybe five times.

Today was a totally different story. He carried Elmo around with him everywhere.

First, they colored together.

Then elmo got carried around by his necklace for a bit.

Then Aiden tried to share his drink with Elmo.

Then Aiden tackled elmo and they wrestled for a bit.

Then Elmo got to take a ride on Aiden's car (which he NEVER shares with anyone).

Now he's been asking to watch Elmo on TV...he's so freaking cute!!

The Fort

Aiden and I made a fort today!!

Bridge to Terabithia

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create." -Albert Einstein

For those of you who haven't seen Bridge to Terabithia ...you should. It's wonderful. It's all about children and their imaginations. I don't know about you but I miss mine. I can remember the days when my living room turned into a maze of secret passages that led to a hidden treasure. or when the entire forest became a house..with separate rooms and all....haha...ah, those were the days. I look forward to rekindling the relationship with mine as Aiden gets older and acquires one of his own.

It's really a shame because today it seems that kids lose theirs so early, or sometimes don't find one at all.
