Letter from Aidan

With it being the last day of school, the kids brought home tons of  papers of projects they have done throughout the year.  Writers notebooks, pictures, math assignments etc.  They wanted me to go through everything but seriously it would have taken me a week to get through all their notebooks.  One letter addressed to me did catch my attention.  It was from Aidan.  Here is what it said:

Dear mom,
I really want a dog because I can have a friend to play with all the time when I am bored.  The two dogs that I want are a golden retriever and a choclet lab.  I know you do not want a golden retriever but I really want a golden retriever you know to get me a golden retriever or choclet lab but you know that every body in the family wants a dog except you.  I hope you think I am responsible enough to get a dog.  If you get me a dog I will be obedient for the rest of that week.  I really want it to be a puppy so I can train it.  Another thing I could do is to help Lacey and Cassidy.  I also will not complain when I have to do my chores.  I do not know if you know this but I want a puppy more than anything in the world. (I still want my family, home, dad's job, and money) but you can get me a dog for Christmas. You can buy a puppy with your allowance.

Love,
 Your mature, financial, lonely, son Aidan.

p.s. write back

Where do I begin with this?  First I love that he is willing to be obedient for the rest of that week when he gets his dog.  I love that he still wants his family, home, dad's job and money and I love that he thinks that I get an allowance.  And how he signed his name, too cute.

I would love to make his dreams come true but just can't right now.  Maybe someday.

How could having a puppy ever be a bad idea?

PRICELESS!!! Take a picture of the letter or put it in his treasure box. He will giggle about it later.

But he can really present a case. You can tell he put alot of thought into this letter.

Such a darling letter! I think he must be going to be a lawyer because he has hit all the points of influence; being obedient,(for a week) that cracks me up. He'll help his sisters, he won't be lonely and he wants you to know he is mature enough for a pet. Totally amazing...a just too cute!
