So I started this blog out a few years ago when my nephew, Aiden, was born. I started it with the intent to write to him about some things and give him little snippets of advice. Well over time, that kind of stopped happening... now Aiden is 2 and 1/2 and has a little brother and I haven't written "to him" in a really long time. So since I've been spending the weekend with him, and he's doing all sorts of adorable things, I thought it about time I blog again for Aiden.
- I love how you say "sorsie" instead of "horsie". We went and saw a real life sorsie earlier today and you LOVED it. My favorite was how polite you were telling the sorsies thank you as we left. Never lose that politeness kid. Chivalry is not dead.
- Every time we drive past the temple, you get so excited and yell, "A temple! A temple!" You were telling me and your mom today that the Temple is Heavenly Father's house and you want to go there and see him. SO CUTE! Also, right across the street from the temple is the tabernacle. Only you call it a baby temple and it's the funniest thing in the world. You yell in a deep voice, "A Temple!" Then in a quieter, higher-pitched voice, "The baby temple!" It's basically the most adorable thing ever. I love that even though you're only 2, you still know who Heavenly Father is and how important His house is. Never stop being excited to see the temple and want to go inside.
- You say, "Mermens" instead of "Young Mens" and it always cracks your mom up. Whenever your dad is gone for his calling with the Young Men you'll always ask, "Daddy? Mermens?" It's hilarious! Don't ever stop making your mom laugh. Help her smile every day.
- You love to swing! And I love to swing. When you swing at Nana's you'll always say hello to the sky and then tell everyone how high you've been swinging - "Clear up to sky!" The sky's the limit kid. Don't forget it. Dream big. Go big.
- You can sing the entire BYU fight song. Complete with cougar growl at the end. And it is the best! You also know the words to "Call Me, Maybe". And more importantly, to "I Am a Child of God." Keep singing kid. Music is the best. But only if you listen to good music. Cause it is a powerful force for good, but is also a powerful tool that Satan uses. So don't let him get to you through the music you listen to. Keep it uplifting. Keep it good. Keep it fun. Also, don't let your dad rope you into listening to country....
- I love the way you pray. Even though you are only 2, your prayers are some of the most powerful I have ever heard. You know that you're talking to Heavenly Father. You always pray for your family and you always say I love you. Keep praying from the heart. Never forget that Heavenly Father is always there for you and will always help you and that you can talk to Him anytime, anywhere, about anything.
Basically, you're the coolest kid I know and I'm pretty much obsessed with you. I'm excited that I get to watch you continue to learn and grow. I can't wait for the day that you're ready to go on a mission and serve Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ full time. And you bet I'll be there every step of the way :) Sure do you love you little boy!
With love,
Aunt Tash
