Aiden LIVES in this hat!
From the time he wakes up, until the time he lays down...Aiden is wearing this hat! After taking a shower once, I hide the hat. I swear, less than 10 minutes later he was asking for it. Our in-laws bought him a new one, but NO. It is THIS hat that works for Aiden. He is not allowed to wear it in school, and we don't allow it in church, but as soon as he can put it back on, he does without fail. I'm so curious how long this will last. Usually, it is a stuffed animal or figurine that Aiden brings with him at all times, so I don't really mind the switch :).
In other news, Aiden was denied disability by the Social Security office, and I'm happy about it. As far as I was concerned, they paid for all that testing (I didn't ask for it) for nothing. I could have told them my son is NOT disabled, nor do I want to abuse the system and take money that could help someone else!
Aiden lost his 2 front teeth this summer, and continues with therapy in addition to swimming lessons (after a few weeks of summer school). Aiden is struggling with swimming lessons. He loves the water, but doesn't get that he is supposed to be learning to swim, not just having fun. We are starting him in a special needs swimming program next month. The School District swimming lessons aren't enough, and because Austin is in his class, it isn't really working out. They play with each other too much, and Austin mimics what Aiden does :(. I can't blame Aiden for struggling. If he got my genetics--yikes--I'm not a strong swimmer at all! I don't care if he can swim laps. I just want him to be safe in the water!
