I really don't know how to write an ode, and for the life of me, right now I can't even remember what an ode is. But Petey made sure I had an awesome birthday yesterday and I just have to brag about him and everything he did.
Tuesday night Eric woke up at 2:30 wanting to eat. Pedro got up with him and fed him, then put him back to bed at 3:30 (Eric's a slow eater). Then, since he hadn't gotten a chance earlier this week, he put on his shoes and headed out to Wal-mart in the middle of the night to go shopping for my birthday. Wow! He came home and started wrapping presents and blowing up balloons. I woke up while he was in the middle of doing all this because I was freezing. Petey heard me get up and came in the room claiming he had fallen asleep on the couch. We got back in bed and he waited until I fell asleep before getting back up and finishing all the stuff he was working on. I have no idea what time he came back to bed, but he was up again at 7 with the kids and making me breakfast.
Pedro spent his day with me (I asked him to take a day off from work), taking care of kids, letting me do all things girly and pretty much anything I wanted to do, we did! He even did the dishes! Once I found out he had gotten a max of 4 hours of sleep that night, I made sure he had an energy drink and a nap.
We were planning on going out to dinner that night, kids and all. Let's just face it, finding a babysitter the day you want to have a night out is pretty much impossible. Not to mention that it was Wednesday night, and that's mutual night for the girls in our ward. But by 5:00, our kids were so cranky, and there was no way I was taking those kids anywhere! So I started telling Pedro we should just order pizza or chinese take-out or something. He wouldn't hear of it. So I tricked Annaleise into having some calming liquid (what a miracle that stuff is). Anyways, to make a long story a little bit shorter, I was with Eric in his room getting him dressed when the doorbell rang. I came out to see our regular babysitter's mom standing there! Pedro had called her a day earlier and since her girls weren't available, she came and watched our kids so we could go out to dinner...Surprise! He had a fun time with that one. All in all, Pedro did a great job...Thanks babe! Te amo mucho
