Aidan’s Gallery: three years old

Aidan is three years old! Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan!!

He had a lovely birthday party to celebrate, and Mummy and Daddy made a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake. Being the end of the school year, that wasn't his only party this month: toddler group, church (fellowship groups), and playgroup all had their end-of-year parties - one featuring the first magician Aidan's seen, something he was fascinated by.

This month Aidan went with Mummy, Grandma, and Megan to the excellent Almond Valley Heritage Centre. Aidan got lost for the first time! He ran on ahead of us towards the play area, but when we arrived there a minute or so later, there was no sign of him. We had a good look for him, and then asked a staff member who got an instant response on the radio: he'd run on past the play area, continued on round the pond and gone back towards reception. Here he'd seen a staff member, gone up to her and told her that he'd lost his Mummy! What a good boy!

We've been going to the park a lot recently. Aidan seems to be scared of dogs - if he even sees a dog in the distance, he starts clinging to our legs, asking to be carried, and trying to hide behind us. Most of the dogs are friendly and want to come and say hello, but he doesn't understand that yet.

Aidan enjoyed his first Riding of the Marches, an old Linlithgow tradition which has become a town celebration. He was quite awestruck by the whole event - marching, floats, bands - but especially enjoyed seeing Daddy and Grandpa walk by in the procession! A few days later was the Gala Day, where he managed to get his photograph in the Gazette, riding on Daddy's shoulders!
