Today, as Aiden was going down for his nap, I held him and cuddled with him for a little bit on his bed. It was such a precious moment and I was struck by a couple things... Aiden seems so big to me lately, he just turned 3 and is conversing so much more, and is getting so smart, yet, I can still hold him in my arms.... and he wants to be held by me. It was so tender to see him snuggle up and be completely at rest in my arms and I began to mourn that someday, and it doesn't feel too far in the future, that he won't want to do that any more. And will be too big to that. I just wanted him to feel my love and feel safe with me always. I've started to yell and get frustrated with him lately. It's terrible. I feel terrible. I just want to cherish my time with him while he is still my little boy, I will try harder.
But here a little bit from his birthday.
We went to Edmonton and went to the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark on Aiden's Birthday. It was a Teachers night so teachers, friends and family get in for 5 bucks for a few hours. My Parents, oldest Sister and 2 of her kids and Brother and his wife and 3 kids all stayed at my sister, Amanda's new place. Just my sister, Sandra and her family were unable to make it. So we all got to hang out and Aiden had quite a nice birthday.

Happy Birthday Aiden!! I just love those moments when they want to snuggle and don't worry Ashton is 5 and still loves to snuggle!!
Don't worry Sheryl, Oren still cuddles and he is 8 now, as long as they know cuddling is allowed they'll will do it till they think it is gross lol. Caylin is 15 and I still find him trying to cuddle sometimes. Love you and always remember you are a spectacular mom!
