Oh wow! That is soooo cute. It feels great to know that your kids really care. He sounds like a really great smart kid.
Last week I took my Spencer to Universal Studios Hollywood (a theme park). It was a rare time when I didnt have to watch what I spent and he was able to buy alot of souveniers. At one particular store he was with me at the counter while I paid, and his eyes got really wide at the amount. "That sure is alot of money, can we afford that?" he says. I tell him not to worry about it. The next morning I make breakfast and ask him to set the table for him and my cousin visiting. I sit down and there's an envelope with a drawing of us at the theme park and $7.00 in change. And a note that says 'Thank you for taking me'. I got all teary-eyed.
One funny story though about drinking alcohol: My friend and I had taken Spencer to the mountains to play in the snow. When we are done we usually stop at a lodge and order hot chocolate before the drive home. Spencer was playing and got hit by a snowball, and starts crying. He was only 6 so give him a break. My friend says to him 'you gotta toughen up, when we stop at the lodge I think you need to drink a Jack and Coke in stead of hot chocolate to toughen you up, be a man.' Well after I ripped my friend a new one for talking to Spencer like that, we headed to the lodge. Where Spencer promptly ordered a Jack and Coke. I just about crawled under the table, and had a wondeful time explaining that to the waitress.
