Our Little Rainman ...



... who brings us so much sunshine. Mike crafted this adorable list of some of Aaron's habits and interests. He really seemed to capture Aaron as a little boy. I added an item to the end of the list. I decided to post it here, with Mike's permission of course!

---

Just some thoughts, and wonderful memories regarding the one and only Aaron.

1. I love to hear him, no matter what time in the morning, getting up. I sit up in bed and look for him to come into the room. I stretch out my arms to him and he runs over (pat pat pat little steps) and climbs into bed with us. We cuddle up tight. He frequently goes back to sleep, but sometimes says, "Daddy warm my milk up," which I do.

2. Aaron likes gummy bears, chicken nuggets, milk, and especially macaroni and cheese.

3. Aaron likes to play outside on the swing, ride his bike, play with JT and Mitchell across the street, see his Ninas and Papas, go to the pool, play with trains and trucks, run through the hose, and dance when the stereo is turned on. He has a high knee type run that he does when he is dancing. Frequently his brother joins him and waves his arms. Aaron also enjoys singing and playing in the nursery at church.

4. Aaron always runs and gives me a big giant hug when I get home from work. He then says, "Daddy to play with me."

5. Aaron loves to ride in daddy's car. When given the option, he chooses daddy's car over the van anytime. He likes Nina's and Papa's truck most of all, however.

6. Aaron has a thing for elephants, trains, and little people. He thinks all the people in the house are his including the people given to Grant. Luckily Grant couldn't care less, usually.

7. Aaron frequently says, "I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy." His parents always confirm to him that he is a big boy.

8. Aaron always tells me he loves me. In the car he frequently tells everyone in the car he loves them over and over.

9. Aaron is learning to pray and prays for his food, regardless if it's food time or not. He likes to say the prayers.

10. Both his favorite color and flavor is orange. You can win him over with anything orange.

Aaron is awesome and we love him and his brother very very very very much.
