Aidan is four years and three months old! Aidan started gymnastics lessons and proper swimming lessons this month. He's doing very well at both - the swimming lessons,with Aquatic Learning, are the first time he has gone into the water without either Mummy or Daddy, and he's responding very well to the class structure.

Aidan had lots of fun playing with all the children we encountered on our trip down south, to read more about it, please check out Megan's two year page... Below you should find Aidan's photos for this month!

Bathtime! Aidan still enjoys his bath, especially creating all sorts of inventions involving the play shower - as can be seen in the background.

Chasing the girls! Aidan, Catherine and Emily had lots of fun playing in the back garden.

Traversing the bridge at Milton Country Park. Aidan did this once before nearly three years ago.

Me and my shadow... Aidan and Megan both enjoyed lying down and having Daddy draw around them!

I can paint a rainbow... Aidan's drawing and painting skills have really improved since he went to nursery school. We were very impressed with this first attempt at a rainbow.

Helping spread the gravel. One of our major projects of the autumn was to transform the bottom of the garden into a play area for the children. Having moved the shed, lifted the patio and levelled the area, the next step was to spread a tonne of gravel down there to assist with drainage.

Aidan and his track. Aidan loves playing with his racing track - and makes us take photos so that he can reconstruct them the next time.
