Our A-Bear is precious... creative, funny, opinionated, fearless and really, really smart. Sometimes I wonder how many times he's gotten his way and I didn't even see it happen! You've heard the story of when I told all four kids to pick out a book for Momma to buy them and Aidan talked Camten into getting one of the two he "needed" as his choice? He's always negotiating for his siblings all kinds of things on all kinds of levels, from an extra candy cane to the necessity of a second Webkins. None of our boys wanted a stuffed animal until Aidan's Porky had babies. I adopted one of the invisible little things and had to keep track of it for days.
Aidan was excited about his birthday, December 20th. He tells everyone he gets MORE presents because his birthday's so close to Christmas. He usually has more visitors, too
, and the house is so decorated, it's really fun! This year a snowstorm came on the morning of the 20th and it snowed hard all day long like I've never seen in Oregon. We played in it a little, but it was so blustery and well below freezing, we were mostly stuck inside and had to eat his cake and ice cream all by ourselves! (Everyone made up for it later, which he was careful to make sure of without making a big deal about it.) Of course, that was the beginning of the "Arctic Blast" that brought even more snow adventures later.
Aidan is the proud owner of a cool, blue LED flashlight that Dad has tried repeatedly to trade for. He loves glow-in-the-dark stuff. When he gets some spending money, he is very careful to buy as many things as he can with it. (He's not too good a saver.) He takes great care of Porky, the Porkupine and his high-tech stuff. He doesn't care about clothes at all and I caught him out in the snow in shorts more than once.

His favorite food is peanut butter and jelly toast with the crusts cut off or a hot dog bun with peanut butter and ketchup. He eats tortillas, too, and chicken nuggets and picked chocolate for his cake flavor. His favorite ice cream is chocolate peanut butter, of course.
His favorite color is blue.
His favorite animal is a scorpian and he hopes to collect them in the future and maybe even decorate his room all scorpian (not!) He has designed a scorpian monster truck.
He reminds everyone to pray every night and asks God for NO dreams at all EVER. He is quick to hug, quick to jump to anyone's rescue even to the point of attacking little girls who are being mean. He's very sensitive to kids around him and their feelings and prefers a good sword fight over video games.
He can put together the most complicated Legos or K'nex project following the directions meticulously.
