Valentine's Eve

So tonight Aidan and I sat down to write out his Valentine cards for his class. I gave him the smaller cards and told him that he had a few larger cards that he could use for "special" people in his class.  I knew that he would want to use one of them for his friend Will and Connor.  I also thought that he would use one for his teacher Mrs. Garrad.  I gave him the list of girls' and boys' names and the first name was Allie.  He looked at me and said that he needed a "special" card for Allie. 
Now Aidan does not normally talk about girls in the house.  I think that he thinks that it will upset me.  He is very loving with me and always says that I am his Valentine and he likes to tease Charlie by giving me kisses.  I was a little surprised that he was so open with the idea of sending Allie a "special" card. 
When we were done writing out all the cards, Charlie asked if he wanted to add anything to the cards.  Maybe he wanted to make someone special a bracelet, or something.  He thought that a bracelet would be a good idea.  I took him in the living room and he picked out a red bead that he wanted the bracelet in.  I proceeded to make him a small red beaded stretch bracelet for Allie.  When I was done I taped it to Allie's "special" card.
It was time for bed so Charlie and I tucked Aidan into bed.  Aidan told us that he was going to ask Allie to be his Valentine.  I could tell that he was scared to ask her.  We explained to him that he was just going to have to be brave and asked.  He wanted to wear a shirt that said "Happy Valentine's Day" on it, but he did not have one.  I convinced him that wearing his read dress shirt would be very nice.  He went to sleep a little nervous about asking Allie the BIG QUESTION!!!!!
