Cooper is so amazing. This morning in bed I told him that I had a special surprise for him downstairs. We all come down and I have a bag with our Wii in it now that it has been fixed by the Hortons, but I also had some other things in the bag.  I tell Cooper that the special surprise is in the bag, reach in and pull out a jar of garlic.  The smile never left his face, but you could see he was confused. He even said ‘thanks. So I told him that wasn’t all and pulled out some maple syrup. Again, no complaints but the smile dropped a bit.  Finally I told him that because he was so good at being grateful for the other presents I had one more for him. When I pulled it out, his eyes went so wide and he ran over and gave me the biggest hug.
I just love that he didn’t complain at getting a jar of garlic. Personally I would have been really happy to get a jar of garlic as a present.
