Aiden's sensitive side

I have to catch up on a few funny stories about Aiden and his sensitive side.

Months ago Matt and I rented a movie for Aiden called Spirit. It is a movie about a horse-we thought he would enjoy it. Matt at the time was laid up with his ruptured achillies tendon. Matt and Aiden were watching the show in my bedroom when suddenly Matt called for my help. I round the bed and saw my cute son sobbing and he told me he could not watch the show anymore. The horse had been captured and he no longer wanted to see the movie. It took a few minutes for Matt and I to tell him that the horse would be fine and to keep watching. Reluctantly and with me by his side he finished the show and now loves the movie. He has however never forgotten what those men do to the horse but he knows the horse gets free and so it is okay to watch now.

The next story that demonstrates that although Aiden is a typical boy he does have a sensitive side. Averee had her appointment for her one year check-up which also included shots. I told him on Sunday evening we would be taking her the next day and he asked if she would have to have shots and I told him yes then he began to tell me no the doctor could not give her shots and was very upset over the whole idea so Matt and I told him no shot for Averee. Well, we arrived at the doctor's office and Averee goes into the room sees the doctor and then we are left waiting and Aiden wants to know why. I told him we had to wait for the nurse to come back and he said lets go right now before they come in and give Averee shots. The nurse arrives the shots are in hand and Aiden goes nuts and starts telling the nurse not to give his baby shots because she will die. The first shot is given and poor Aiden breaks out the tears and Averee is also crying. After the last shot was given Aiden tells me to let him give Averee a hug and tell her it is going to be alright. I am not sure who cried more, Averee-because of the pain, Aiden-because it was hurting his baby or me because I thought it was so cute and I was laughing so hard. Since that day surprisingly Aiden has been nicer to his sister.
