When asking for Aidan's participation in the evening toy pick up activity Kyle and I never know what we will get from him. Will he blame Ethan for making a mess? Will Aidan claim how tired his arms are from writing at school or pick up two items with a promise to do more tomorrow. Tonight Aidan dished up no excuses. Only honesty. He helped and I thank him for it.
" Aidan, you have been so delightful today. Thank you for helping mom when I asked. You sat still while we put on shoes for school, and you helped Ethan put on his jacket. I really like it when you are a nice boy..."
" ummm, except for when I stuck my tongue out at you while you were in the bathroom."
