tender hearted

Like I've written before, Aiden just loves school. Normally when I pick him up, he runs to me with a big smile on his face and gives me a hug. Today I knew something was wrong when he walked quietly with his head down. I talked to him asking him what was wrong. His teacher, Mrs Rose, saw us and motioned for us to come over. During school, one of Aiden's classmates celebrated her birthday by bringing in M&M's for the class. Mrs Rose told everyone to not open their packet until they were out in the playground. Well, Aiden didn't obey and opened it early. Mrs. Rose talked to him and his response was " I just really like candy." He felt bad and said he was sorry, but then was sad the rest of class. Mrs Rose told me that Aiden has such a tender heart that it was hard for him to get past it. Aiden and I then talked about it at the car and he just BURST into tears. I held him for a little while and as he sobbed he told me he felt so bad for disobeying Mrs Rose. His brokeness almost had me close to tears. I told him that he did make a bad decision and he shouldn't have disobeyed, but that it did not change the love that daddy and I have for him, or the love that Mrs Rose has for him. I asked him if he thought that God would forgive him for it. Aiden said yes. The next hardest thing he had to do though was tell his daddy what he did. Once again, he sobbed as he told Chad he disobeyed.
As much as I hate it when Aiden sins, I love that God has given this little boy such a tender heart. He is such a delight to Chad and I. Kian was next to Aiden in the car as he was crying. Kian asked Aiden what was wrong and then said he wanted to give Aiden a hug. Once again, I about cried as I watched my oldest crying in the arms of his 2 year old little brother. It was a sweet, sweet picture. Man do I love these 2 boys!
On a different note, Kian has been so funny recently with some of the comments he has said. A couple of days ago, as I was putting on my makeup, Kian wanted to know what I was doing, I told him. His reply was, "that's what I'm talkin' bout mommy." I started laughing. Later that day, Aiden was in a bad mood in the car and Kian looked at him and said, "what's wrong Aiden? Aiden, what's wrong? Talk to me Aiden! Talk to me! What wrong?" It was so precious!
Last night was our first sectional game for volleyball. We won in 5 games against Bethany. We play tomorrow Blackhawk and then ECA for the championship. Little nervous!
I have been pretty sick this week. I went to OB this morning and he gave me an antibiotic for my cough. The baby's heartbeat is great and I scheduled my ultrasound for 2 weeks from today! Please pray that I could sleep these next couple of days, I have hardly slept the last 4 nights due to the cold (and probably sectionals).
