Aiden And I Attend Daddy Night At TLC

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad

Have I mentioned that we really like Aiden’s pre-school?  Although he no longer attends public school, he is still enrolled in private school at TLC.  They are really big on academics (Aiden recognizes and names almost every letter in the alphabet now) and they send home all sorts of crafts that Aiden builds there.  I was...

It was such a nice day on Tuesday, so we took the boys to the Skydeck at the Sears Tower (or the Willis Tower, depending on who you ask).  We had already spent the morning at the Shedd Aquarium, and the Tower isn’t far away.  This would put us near a McDonald’s for lunch, and the boys would be good and tired for a nap...
