New Phone

We got Aidan a phone today. I handed it to him and told him to try figure out how to reply to a text message. He played with it for a few seconds and then asked me, "How do I capitalize?". I told him that I'd show him how later. A few more seconds pass by and he says, "I need capitalization now!"

Ancient history....

I was going through old emails and found this from 2006 when Aidan broke his leg. I did not have the blog up and running then, but I wanted to add it in for posterity's sake.

From January 2006...

We made Watkins' family history today -- after six years of boys, bikes, motorcycles and "supermans" across the room, we officially have our first broken bone. But, against all odds - it was my fault. Aidan broke his right tibia (shin bone) today while we were playing piggy back. I leaned over to let him slide off my back and he landed wrong. He has a spiral fracture. It should heal 100% - there was no displacement of the bone during the break.

He handled it very well - better than I would had it been my leg. There were no tears at all - he was just very adamant that he did not want you touching or moving his leg.

He has a temporary cast now - plaster on the backside of his leg and wrapped in ace bandage. They will put a full cast on sometime this week after the swelling has gone down. He will be in it for 6-8 week probably.

No corn for Aidan!

Aidan has been losing teeth this year at a rapid pace. He just lost the other front tooth!
