Beds

The other night, Adam came into my room at 1:30am.  It was stormy and he said he had a bad dream so I let him crawl into bed and go back to sleep.  Dave didn't get to bed until 4:30ish so he let Adam stay the 1.5 hours until we had to get up.  At dinner, Adam said that Dave should go sleep in the guest room so that he could sleep in the big bed with me.  Dave told him no - every time he sleeps in that bed, he hurts his back.  Adam said he (Dave) could sleep in his (Adam's) bed.  Again, Dave said no - that Adam can sleep in his own bed and Dave will sleep with me.  Adam said he doesn't like to sleep by himself and that we are grown-ups so we shouldn't need to sleep with each other.  Kids get scared and need to sleep with the grown-ups so he's going to sleep in our bed since it's big enough for 3!  Ha ha!!

Young Vikes Wrestling picture

Adam has 2 Mondays left of his wrestling class. The last class will be a tournament.  I can't wait to see him wrestle!  (They try to cover all the windows in the wrestling room - probably more so the kids don't get distracted by all of us parents trying to look at them.  Ha ha!) Adam seems to be enjoying it.  There was a week or 2 where he was saying it was boring but now that they know more than one move, it's getting better.   Last week they got their team t-shirts and the coach took a picture.  I have to share it. It is hilarious.  Only my kid!

 

Oh Dear!

Tonight we got a call from a parent of a 1st grader that rides the bus with Adam.  Apparently Adam punched him today!!  Dave took the call.  He said it was the mom and she was just making sure that her kid didn't do something to provoke Adam.  Adam said he was trying to give the kid a piece of paper that he (Adam) had written some words (words he knows we don't like) with a couple of doodles on it and the kid wouldn't take it.  Not sure why that warranted a punch. Adam has been warned! We think he may have gotten the idea from another bus "friend" who he says pinches him or punches him in the butt.  I figured it was just boys being boys but maybe I should call his parents? 

Ocean concert

The Kindergarten class put on a little concert at Assembly today for the rest of the Lower School.  Parents were invited and since Dave couldn't fall asleep this morning, he came too!

Here are a couple of clips I got.  At one point I thought I was recording and wasn't so hopefully the school videotaped it because it was really cute!

I think Adam was searching for us the whole time (as you can see from the beginning of the clip).  He bowed after almost every song but I'm not sure why he started to tickle himself...

After school actvity

For the past 6 weeks on Tuesdays, Adam has been going to "Science, Science, Science!"  after school. He loved it and was sad that Tuesday was the last day.  The newest after-school-activity brochure came out today and guess what Adam wants to do?  Swim? Math? Make cupcakes? Nope! Wrestle!!  Yes, they have a wrestling class for K-6!  Ha ha!  I can't wait to see what he thinks of it. They will even have a little tournament at the end.

As a side note and completely unrelated, Adam had his quarterly ultrasound on Friday.  This is the first time we have gotten any abnormal results but thankfully not liver or kidneys. He had a slightly enlarged spleen.  His doctor is not concerned since everything else was normal.  She said we will just recheck it at his next one in May.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Here is a picture I tried to take after Adam lost his tooth.  Can't really tell but it's a cute picture anyway!

 

Today Adam had a big Valentine's Day party at school with his class and their 4th grade buddies.  Adam gave everyone a superhero valentine that came with a sticker and an edible gummy wrist band.

Here are some pictures at the party.

Hands up and listen when the chime rings.

Adam and one of his buddies decorating cookies.

Decorating cookies.

Playing BINGO with buddies.

The Kinders got to watch their buddies in the gym for Jump Rope for Your Heart.  One of his teachers said Adam was dancing like crazy.  She said they couldn't believe it was the same kid!  Ha ha!  He loves his music!

Adam also made us some Valentines.  They are entertaining!  This first one he made at school.

Front: Mom you love me.  I love you.

Inside : and I love you.  We might get into fights but I still love you.

Back: Dad sometimes we get into fights but I still love you. To mom and dad.

Apparently we fight a lot??  Funny 'cause we rarely yell anymore since he's been in school.

Then he made these at home:

Front: Mom and Dad, I love you.  I try to not get in trouble but you're still my Valentine's.  My mistake.  I love Dad 99% and Mom 100%

 My mistake?? What?  He just laughed when we asked.

Back:  Have a great Valentine's Day from Adam Aikins. Happy Valentine's Day.

Inside Happy Valetine's Day.  (Lots of balloons - not sperm.  :)) Adam Aikins written fancy.

 And for the dogs:

Ramona, I hope your eye gets better.  Olive, when you grow up I think you will be just like Kirby.

So I made this card just for you two.  (and a bunch of balloons with dog faces in them)

Another tooth out!

Adam has had this one bottom tooth that has been wiggling for a while now. Today was the day he was finally able to yank it out.  Then he asked if he was going to get $5 for it. Ummmm...no. So that's 3 teeth now - the 2 bottom middle and the 1 right next to them on his left side.   Now he's going to work on the bottom tooth on the right side that is slightly loose.  Maybe some top ones will loosen in the meantime.  :)
