Family Birthdays

My niece and nephew had a combined birthday party today. Aiden had a great time because it was nice enough out that the kids played at a nearby park for a while. The only downside to the party was that my brother didn’t plan for food. There were plenty of snacks and, of course, cake, but no real food. The crankies didn’t take long to set in for all of us and we flew to the nearest Panara’s to eat after it was over.

It was nice to see my family, but Aiden is scared of my mom and brother. They are very loud individuals and get in his face which is not to Aiden’s liking. They can’t understand why he doesn’t want to play with them or let them hold him, even though I try to explain in a kind manner that he is sensitive and needs time to warm up. I know you can’t change people, but it sure is hard to deal with on a regular basis since they won’t heed my advice to let Aiden come to them.
