The nurturing type

When Sophie was born Ayden was far too young to understand what a baby was and that she was part of our family. In the last few months we've had a few additions to our extended family and he has grown to love babies very much. He always wants to hold and kiss them. He pretends that his toys are babies all the time. Today I was making cookies and looked over to see this scene:




He is having a diaper changing party. I heard him asking the dolls if they needed "diaper changes" and then he ran to get some diapers and wipes. He also made me get out the stroller so he could push them around the "park" (also known as the living room)

We always talk about how much Ayden is like me and now that he has found this true love of babies, it's even more evident. He is such a sweet little guy, so tender hearted. He is a true gift!

Those are such cute pictures of Ayden. It is so fun when they get in the pretend arena. He will be a good dad, just like his own dad. He is such a sweet, sensitive little boy.
