Caiden made a new friend today. His name is Aiden (yes, funny, I know), and he is 5 years old. He lives right across from the neighborhood playground and came out to play with us while we were there. He is a very sweet little boy and very friendly! He shouted out a hearty "HI THERE" as he was entering the park along with a big wave. We introduced ourselves, and Aiden introduced us to his baby stuffed animal Simba (from the Lion King). He asked how old Caiden was and told us he had a little sister who is not quite a newborn anymore. He was very sweet about sharing his little stuffed animal with Caiden and showed him how to hold it just like a baby. Then he asked me to tell Caiden that he should be quiet when playing with the baby stuffed animal so that he wouldn't startle him. Tee hee!
Caiden of course was endlessly amused by this little guy. Aiden was running laps around the playground and Caiden just kept laughing and laughing at him! A few times Caiden accidentally dropped Simba and Aiden would come over, pick him up and brush him off. Caiden would then start signing more, please as his way of asking to hold Simba again. I explained to Aiden what that meant, and Aiden very patiently asked Caiden to wait just a few moments while he brushed off Simba and then gently placed him back in Caiden's arms. So cute!
I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more of this little guy as we make more trips back to the playground!
