There are times when he can be the sweetest kid in the world

[janradder]

Éiden has had a very difficult morning -- lots of crying, arguing, complaining and whining.  Earlier today, Éiden was at the bottom of the stairs crying for reasons only he fully understood (if anyone, in fact did).  Arie heard him and came downstairs with a book -- Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.  He sat down next to Éiden very gently and started reading the book to him.  Éiden stopped crying and started listening and then laughing at the different parts of the book as Arie read it very dramatically (as he usually does).  When the book was over, so were the tears and the two boys marched upstairs to play super heroes together.
