Aidan was born in 2003 during a hot Summer, but fortunatley just before a major heat wave hit the country.
He was, and is the cutest little fella ( and I am not biased). He may not be perfect, but he has the kindest heart of anyone ever.
As a baby he was a demanding little man, loving cuddles, and not sleeping through for the first night until after his second birthday.
However he had constant ear infections from about 6 months, which involved huge amounts of puss seeping out of his head every hour or pretty much everyday, so who can blame him for not sleeping.
At 18 months he needed an adenoidectomy and grommets. One of the worst moments of my life was holding him in the anaesthetic room, first when they tried to find a vein, and then when they gave up and forced the mask over his face.
The grommets did very little to help, and it was only after 2 adult doses of a very strong antibiotic ( that left him rough rough rough), was the ongoing infection finally beaten.
At the 2 year check the health visitor was concerned about his speech, but as he had only just had his ears sorted I was not suprised that he was playing catch up.
He was an active toddler and young child, constantly sticking his nose into everything, and obsessed with eating anything that didnt move.
Sitting still was a definite no go area, and he had no interest in using pens or anything that involved letters or numbers.
He was one of the younger ones when he started school, but we had no concerns, as he seemed so bright, and made friends without even trying.
So at age 4 off he headed into school year R.......
