Aaron the big kid

We have got some major milestones in our household, folks.  First and foremost:  No more diapers, at all.  Not all day, not on outings, not at naptime and not at night.  No pullups, nothing.  Just great stuff like octopus underpants.



Second major milestone:  The big kid car seat! 


Aaron is thrilled to be in a seat like his big brother's, and we love how easy these seats are to get in and out of, move from one car to another, etc.  

Third major milestone:  The emergence of representational drawing.  This is an anglerfish.  


Coloring inside the lines, not so much. 


Jordan, as is often the case, was compelled to show us how it's done.


Next major milestone:  The dentist.  I'm cheating a little on this one because the milestone is not that Aaron had a dental exam... he only observed his brother having one.  But he did so without screaming and panicking, which is all he did the last time he was in this office.  So I felt it was a success.


Jordan was very cooperative except that he could not, would not, lie down.  Once the hygienist decided to roll with it and let him be upright, things went quite smoothly.  In these photos he's having a fluoride treatment.  As you can see, Aaron watched with interest.


Though Aaron is quite grown up now, he still takes a long, deep nap pretty much every day.  At school, he is usually the last one to wake up; the hubbub of the classroom is all around him, and he is still out cold.  That's his teacher Courtney and his classmate Diego in the foreground.
