Aidan Andrew McEwan Wansbrough - Aidan's Gallery

Aidan is four years and seven months old! Aidan has had lots of fun this month, but the detail is all on Megan's two years four months page so once you've checked out Aidan's pics, we suggest you pop over there to find out more!

Aidan has been really enjoying playing with his main Christmas present - a base board for his train set, which slides under the bed so the layouts he creates can be left intact at the end of the day. But before he could use it, he had to paint it green (with a little help from Daddy!) - he had lots of fun doing that, and even managed to keep relatively clean!

In other news, we were a little disappointed when we went to his first ever Parent's Evening - unfortunately for him, Aidan's teacher went off on Maternity Leave just before Christmas and, as his new teacher wasn't really up to speed yet (having only been there a few weeks), one of the general supervisors talked with us. She does know Aidan, but hasn't really spent much time with him so couldn't really discuss his progress with us in the depth we would have appreciated. Still, we could see from his Progress Folder that he is doing well - his drawing and writing skills are coming along well - he had even drawn a picture of himself. Until recently, when he's actually done drawing, it's mostly been scribbles, so it's nice to see the scribbling becoming more purposeful.

Balancing on his scooter. Aidan really enjoys going out "scooting", and will often scoot to the school bus. Note the lovely hat Auntie Heather made him for Christmas.

Aidan and his baseboard, with the circuit built by him and Daddy (in the margarine tub) controlling the red and green signal lights (on cardboard upsidedown "T" in the foreground). He was very impressed with this!
