My Awesome Helper

I just need to tell you all how awesome Aaron has been through all this sickness! Today I have zero energy and he has been such a great help! Any time I ask/tell him to do something his standard answer has been "Oh, sure!" I love it! He was eating dinner and I said "I'll go into the living room to get your gatorade" and he said, "Oh no mom, I'll do it, I really don't mind!" It was very cute :) He is just so willing to help me clean, pick stuff up, keep an eye on Belle, etc... I think he's done more around here tonight than Dave and I together, but he's the one who has the most energy, so I'm thankful someone's around to help! (Not to say that Dave hasn't tried to or been helpful, he has, but he is fighting something too and adding that with the fact that he got no sleep last night, he and I make one pitiful pair of energy-less parents tonight).

I told Aaron that after we are all better I'll take him some where special as a thank you for being so awesome the last two days. About an hour later he goes, "Mom, you forgot my surprise! You know, the one when I was putting my spoon away?" it took me a minute to figure it out but I did and explained that we'll go out after we're all better. Thankfully he understood and is ok with it :)
