Naturally enough, when Aidan started reading several weeks ago, some of the first books he opened were Tolkien’s The Hobbit and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia series. He was thrilled by the creatures that populate the mythic worlds of Middle Earth and Narnia, eagerly reading about hobbits, dwarves, elves and talking beasts. Then there’s his favorite character: Smaug the Dragon. 
Lindsay and I are not particularly thrilled about Aidan’s choice of a hero, but what can we do? Aidan’s name means “fire,” after all. And now he’s started acting dragonish around the apartment, especially near and after bedtime.
I post these photos to commemorate the Aidan we once knew—the baby who went to bed on time, and hadn’t yet found out that he could manipulate mere mortals with his dragonish screams.

Yea, he looks like he could take you both...You could still probably take him off the dribble,
That kid is decidedly odd-looking, but in that intelligent way. Very 'portrait of the film director as a baby genius'. And very cute. =)

Yeah, I've got to cling to my advantages.

Aidan happened to be sitting with me when I read that, and he had this to say:
"Are you surrounded by adoring crowds of the opposite gender whenever you go out in public? Didn't think so. Try an' hide those sour grapes better."
I think he was slightly riled. (He does drop his "Ds" on occasion.)
