Aidan’s Gallery: five years one month old

Aidan is five years one month old. It's the summer holidays still, and we've been out and about nearly every day. To read more of what we've been up to, please visit Megan's two years and ten months page.

Aidan's been practising his golf a bit this summer, and even made it onto the practise putting green at Linlithgow Golf Club - he was definitely starting to get the idea but has a fair way to go yet! He's also made a few attempts at learning to ride his bike without stabilisers on.

Aidan has also been very into his craft this summer - making several of his Lego toys (aeroplanes and helicopters and cars), and making papier mache volcanoes, which we subsequently created an eruption out of (where the lava was formed from a combination of sodium bicarbonate, washing-up liquid, red food colouring and vinegar!) and various other maps and drawings.

He seems to be looking forward to starting primary one in less than two weeks time...

Aidan's river picture. This picture really impressed us - it was one of the first pictures Aidan drew that was of something recognisable, and with a story behind it.
