Week 1:
Today Aidan did not venture far from home. He layed around a bit in his basket by the television and watched the news. It was sad news today, so Aidan got up and investigated his bowl of macaroni. That is Aiden's preferred food. He sniffed it, and went back to his basket where he promptly fell asleep. We had to put him outdoors soon after, as the snores of a young dragon tend to singe the carpet. I wonder what he will discover tomorrow!
Today Aiden ventured into the unknown. He went out into the backyard, where there happens to be a forest. He was walking harmlessly around a toadstool when all of a sudden he met up with a sprite called Sary. They were so shocked to see each other, as Aiden has never seen a sprite beforem that he blew some fire, and singed her wings. Sary with great fright turned and scampered quickly out of sight. They say she was never the same again! And neither was Aiden, as he only looked at his macaroni, and went to sleep.
Aiden was a bad dragon today. We discovered him nosing his bowl of macaroni down the back stairs. It made a huge mess, while took 2 hours of scrubbing to get it out of the rug. I am beginning to think that maybe he doesn't like macaroni. We signed him up for obedience training today, we hope he will enjoy himself. At least he will get to learn how to control his fire, since he keeps singing his scales, which must be hurting.
Aiden is responding well to his training. He hasn't burned the carpet for a week! We give him treats of crackers for good behavior, which he gobbles up. I think he really likes the crackers. He tries to open the cupboards himself, but hasn't got it yet.
Aiden has a new friend. Her name is Meigan. She is a dragon that lives across the street. She is mostly purple with yellow edging. She plays with Aiden in the park and they go down the children's slides together. They have made a few friends with the neighbourhood children. They have given a few rides which the children thought was a great deal of fun. Now everyday Aiden is sitting pitifully at the door until I take him to the park at least once. I think it may have something to do with the treats the children bring to him.
I accidentally let Aiden watch television yesterday. Now he is hooked on Gilmore Girls. He likes to make me talk as fast as they do, and he shows his happiness after he watches the show by lighting a fire in the fireplace with his breath and curling up in front of it with a contented sigh. Gotta love the effect of television on dragons. He also likes Dragon Tales, though I have no idea why.
