Today's Aaron's birthday. I've been thinking of him all week. Yesterday this conversation occurred and I thought it was fitting to post today...
C: Mommy, what rhymes with "like"?
Me: Hmmm...Mike! That's actually Grandpa's name. Mike is short for Michael. It's also Finn's middle name, but we say Fintan Michael. But you could say Finn Mike for short I guess.
C: Like Aaron's name.
Me: (I was confused as to what he was talking about because I didn't think he knew that Aaron's middle name was Michael.) Aaron who? What Aaron are you talking about?
C: Uncle Aaron.
Me: How did you know that his middle name was Michael?
C: 'Cause I saw him when I was a baby I think, before he lived with Jesus. I'll show you. (He ran off to the playroom to get a book that has a picture of Aaron holding Callan as a baby.) See, Mommy! I told you so. Uncle Aaron held me as a baby. I knew him.
I guess we must have said at one point that his name was Aaron Michael and Callan obviously remembered!
Happy Birthday, Aaron Michael!
