Aidan's First Fishing Trip with Pa Pa

Yesterday Aidan went on a very special fishing trip with Pa Pa, and I got to spend the day reminiscing about what it was like to only have one kid. I have been noticing Aidan's behavior getting worse and worse as the days go on. He's been whiny, won't use sentences, mumbles things and points and when he doesn't get what he wants will start crying uncontrollably and then the past few days he's been getting pissed at me and going to his room where he slams the door and lays in bed. I started feeling really bad about it, and thought that maybe he was feeling neglected and needed some one-on-on time. So I asked him if he would rather spend the day with just me or just pa pa. He of course picked my dad. So I made sure it was ok with my dad and planned for Aidan to be picked up Wednesday after the gym. He was so excited. When we put the carseat in my dad's truck, Aidan crawled in without hesitation and said "Bye Mommy, Hug and tiss". My dad took him on his first fishing trip to Lake Trafford. They had planned to go out on the boat, but it was too cold so they stayed on land. I gave my dad my camera so that he could take pictures of Aidan's big adventure. My dad didn't know how to use the camera so he ended up taking a whole bunch of videos instead of pictures. I made a little movie out of all the videos that were taken. Keep that in mind when you start to get dizzy from the camera movement! Be sure to turn the music playlist at the bottom of the page off so you can hear the video!
It looks like they had a great time. Aidan just adores his Pa-Pa, and although my dad loves both my boys equally, he has a very special bond with Aidan.

Rylan spent the day with me. We met up with some friends and had lunch at Jason's Deli with Julie & Chase and Leah & Jason. Then we went home for a nap. After naptime we went to Gulf Coast Town Center to get Rylan's hair cut at Great Clips. I FINALLY found a lady who did a great job cutting his hair and it didn't cost me a fortune (Bye-bye bowl cut). And just to sweeten up the experience, there was a $2 off coupon on the bottom of the receipt for the next hair cut. So Aidan will be going tomorrow to get his done too! I forget how easy the day can be when I only have one kid. It was a great day for all!!
