Aidan's Obsession

For those of you who don't know, Aidan has an obsession. It might actually be called an addiction, I'm not sure which is better.


For Aidan, the best thing on earth, that he can't live without, is his "Da-dee". Ever since Aidan was a tiny baby, he's had a very special love for his Dad.
 
I always noticed that he seemed to prefer his Dad (apart from when it was time to eat). And, that Dan seemed to have a very strong attachment to him. Dan has changed more diapers for Aidan than either Mason or Ethan combined.
 
Dan always requested to wear the "Snuggly" carrier, because he loved having Aidan cuddled to him.
 
If I ever have a hard time getting Aidan to sleep, I simply hand him over to Dan, and miraculously, 5 minutes later, he is out like a light. Don't get me wrong, Dan has had a really strong bond with all of our boys, and they have loved him too, but it's never been quite to this extreme. When I lay Aidan down to bed (if he's already asleep) he mutters in his sleep "Da-dee". When Dan comes home from work, he has a fit and sprints to the door yelling "Da-dee", every single time! They like to cuddle together, play together, and generally just be together doing anything. I have to admit, that there have been times when I've been very jealous. He usually bestows a million hugs and kisses on Dan without being asked, while I have to beg and plead for the tiniest bit of affection. All in all, it's really the cutest thing on earth to watch this adorable "pair of boys" that I love with all my heart.
