Aidan *loves* his little brother – sometimes too aggressively for my comfort, but always always with the purest motives.
Lately he seems to really be embracing his role as the “oldest” and loves to guide and direct Cora (which is *mostly* well received), as well as attempt “big kid” things.
More and more often I find him trying things he would have been afraid of before, and today he decided he needed to work out in the garage with the men.
Here’s his bench press:
He even went running with them and came in to very stoicly ask for a band-aid when he fell.
This mama is going to need a band-aid for my broken heart – today bench-pressing, tomorrow college!





















Aidan’s getting so big! But, I must say, I’m partial to that good-looking bottom in the sweat pants. ;)
lol! I’m wearing sweatpants in that photo, too! Assuming you don’t mean me though. ;)
