Besides Halloween, another thing our family celebrates in
October is Mike’s birthday. When I told Aidan that Daddy’s birthday was this
month he replied excitedly, “I know the perfect gift that I’m going to get
Daddy…a Nerf gun!” Of course, I was ready for Aidan to say something like this
because whenever we talk about birthdays or presents he is always mentioning
that the perfect gift he could give or receive would be a Nerf gun. I told
Aidan that Daddy could buy a Nerf gun any time he wanted and that the best gift
would something that Daddy could not buy, something that maybe Aidan could
make. As we brainstormed of gift ideas that Aidan could make, Aidan seemed
stuck on that fact that his gift had to be associated with a Nerf gun in some
way. Then I mentioned that he could compose a song on the piano to Daddy about
Nerf guns. Aidan LOVED this idea! So for 2 weeks he worked with me on composing
a birthday Nerf gun song for his Dad. This is the song that Aidan composed for
his Dad:
On the day of Daddy’s birthday, Aidan excitedly led his Dad
to the piano to present his gift:
Mike really enjoyed this gift! In fact, you can often hear him and Caleb singing it occasionally around the house (it is really funny!). As for Caleb and I, we made a peach pie for Daddy’s birthday later in the week. Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!
