Aiden was born in September of 2007. 3 weeks after he was born, my husband and I found out he has 1p36 Deletion Syndrome. I thought writing this blog would be a good way to tell Aiden's story...
At the 1p36 DSA conference, one of the fun activities was going to a water play area at a mall in downtown Salt Lake City. The water jumped out of holes to classical music. It was a very hot day so it was a perfect activity to enjoy. This was a great activity for Daddy and Aiden to participate in. Because Aiden is still not walking independently, he needs constant one on one attention when doing most physical activites. If an activity is too hard for Aiden he usually gives up quickly. As you can see from all the photos, Aiden had a BLAST! He laughed and laughed and did not want to get out of the water. All the kids and adults really enjoyed this activity. I wish we had something like this close to our home. Enjoy all the photos!
We had two snow days this week from school. We got about 12-15 inches of snow. Aiden and I decided to venture out into the snow to play. I think we spent more time getting all the clothing on than we did outside. Aiden likes the snow but does not like the gloves and boots. It makes it very difficult for him to move. As soon as we get in the snow he attempts to take off the gloves. As you can see from the photos, Aiden had a good time.
