This morning while Caleb was at preschool, I took Andrew in for his 12 month shots. He was such a little trooper and did fairly well, but as the day wore on, he became cranky and was tired much earlier than usual. I laid him down for an early nap, and took the opportunity to spend some good one on one time with Caleb. We had a blast, and just hung out together ... we played soccer, Trouble, and race cars and then went into the kitchen so that I could grab him a quick snack.
As I pulled out his snack, he climbed up to his usual place on the island, and saw two quarters on one of the other countertops. (I'm sure these came out of Daddy's pockets!) He asked me what they were there for, and asked if he could have them. I told him that yes, he could have them and asked him if he wanted to go upstairs and put them in his bank. Nope, he wanted to put them in his pocket and save them there.... Since I knew they'd get lost, and most likely end up in Andrew's mouth, I told him that if he wanted to keep them he needed to put them up in his room.
He gave me a disappointed look and we had this conversations:
Caleb: I can't Mommy. I'm gonna spend them soon.
Me: Oh, REEEEAAAALLLLY.... What exactly are you going to buy??
Caleb: It's a surprise!
Me: OK, will you let me know when you want to spend them?
Caleb: I sure will! You'll have to take me there. I'm going to buy you a Mocha (from Starbucks) with them.
AAAAHHH, how sweet is he? Definitely a keeper! Just when I think he's going to ask for a matchbox car or candy, he pulls something like this and totally melts my heart.
