It's the thought that really does count...

Noah totally melted my heart today, and cracked me up!

I told him it was my birthday tomorrow and that we are going to go out for breakfast.  I told him all I want for my birthday is pancakes and he immediately said, "No!  That's junk food!  You can't have that! You'll get sick."  I reminded him that we can have treats once in awhile, like on our birthdays or other special occasions but he was still adamant about my not having pancakes.  I then realized that he was worried about me, that I might get sick and that the real reason he didn't want me to have pancakes was because he was afraid I might get sick.  I asked him if that was the case, and he responded "yes" right away.  I assured him that I am really healthy and that I only eat junk food once in awhile so that I stay healthy.  He was then OK with my having pancakes :)

Then he said it was silly that I want pancakes for my birthday because that's not a present.  I told him that I don't want any presents, but he was once again adamant that he needed to get me a present LOL.  So I asked him what he would get me if he could go buy a present and he said "a bunny!" and then he said, "No Hello Kitty!  A Hello Kitty doll!  Yeah! That's what you would like!"

The fact that my four year old could come up with something I would like so quickly (he knows I love anything Hello Kitty) totally melted my heart.  It truly was the thought that counted :)
