June 6, 2000

Can a toddler survive on starches and meats alone? I sure hope so. Aaron has decided not to eat vegetables or most fruits or dairy. I guess he is beginning the terrible twos early. He has decided that he is a big boy like his brother. The other day when we were getting ready for church, I walked into the living room to discover Kirk and Aaron each sitting in a recliner eating breakfast and watching Pokemon. It was amazing to me that Aaron sat still for so long. He only does that when he is sick. He is responding to questions, too. I asked him "Do you want to go to bed?" He nodded "Yes." "Do you want to take a bath?" He shook his head "No." He is changing every day.

Aaron, Kirk and I are working on Wes' Father's Day present. We are collecting a rock for each member of the family. On these rocks we'll draw a face and attach them to a board. We will then write each person's name below their rock. Aaron in going to help with rock collecting. If there is one thing he is good at, it is picking up rocks off the ground. Kirk gets to assign each rock to a family member and do the rest of the "artistic" stuff, but Aaron is still helping. I think we may try doing foot or hand prints, too. Aaron loves to color and I bet he'd get into finger painting. We're going to have a big Father's Day this year. I'll have to write more after we do some finger painting. I'm sure I'll have a lot to tell.
