10-4 Engine 9 Aaron Judd turned 3

Fireman Sam is a topic Aaron talks about a lot.  Since mid summer he has been asking, requesting and begging for a "Fireman Sam" costume.  I made the mistake of looking some up on the internet one day and he became determined that he needed one.  I kept saying maybe for your birthday but for a few weeks every day he would ask me if his Fireman Sam costume was in a the mail.

It was a rough wait but he finally made it to his birthday!!  As requested a Firetruck cake was created.

We took it up to Sunday dinner and there he opened the long awaited Fireman Sam costume.  It was a huge hit.  All the cousins collectively took the gadgets and came up with a rescue mission after dinner.   It was very cute!!





The longer Aaron's in my family the more obvious it seems that he is the glue that holds us all together.  He's mister happy go lucky rarely is bothered by anyone or anything and brings so much joy to our lives.  He's the first to jump for joy whenever Bart and I come home from work and reminds us to give hugs before we leave.  Just this morning the girls were running out the door to catch the bus and Aaron runs to them saying "Wait I give you a love."    He also has a very sensitive spot.  About the only time he is in "trouble" is when his sticky little fingers just can't resist touching "off limit" things.  He often hears the words "AARON DON'T TOUCH" and often he will burst into tears and say "Mama don't scream at me"  It breaks my heart every time he says that to me.   My mom often makes fun of me babying my little boy but I can't help it there is a special place in a mother's heart for her boys.   Oh how we loved our Aaron Judd!!

It's about time

Jane finally allowed Bart to pull her loose tooth.   Let's hope the tooth fairy "remembers" to come tonight

Labor Day 2015

Last year on a Christmas sale I bought a package of 12 flashlights.  This little turkey slowly took apart and destroyed all but one.  I hid that one and brought it out for a camping trip.  Aaron acted like it was Christmas to have a new flashlight.  We had to watch him like a hawk with it so he didn't take this one apart. 
Saturday was cold and windy.  Just perfect to stay inside and play a game of old maid










My mom found this old fishing boat at a garage sail.  Perfect for rowing around Miller Lake

Aaron's first day

This is how excited Aaron was to finally start going to his own "school"



All summer we've been talking about Aaron going to "preschool" this fall.  When the first day of school came for his sisters he was very distraught when I told him it wasn't his turn yet.   How happy he was last night when I said "Tomorrow's the big day you get to start preschool".   Emily and Jane this morning was telling him things they remember about preschool.  Jane:  Aaron at preschool they have tons of toys that you get to play with all day.  Emily:  At preschool they have a nap time and you take off you shoes and cuddle up on a mat.    

When we arrived his teacher Miss Hilary showed him around.  I could tell he was very interested in the miniature sized urinals that only "Big Boys" can use.  When it was time to go he ran over to me and said "Hug, Kiss" Squeezed me very hard and ran off to play with the others.  I can tell he's going to have a great day.

So Hurray for Preschool and Hurray for this mama getting to use the carpool lane.  (It's been a life changing experience)
