Christmas comes (too) early

So tonight as I was making bread Aaron related a phone conversation he had with our brother-in-law, Nathan during which they conversed about the strenghts of a wii game, Mario Galaxy that Aaron has been wanting to purchase and Nathan has. I of course have known for some time that Aaron wanted this game and very sneakily purchased it this last week. I am preferential to the wii games that are sports because it has the boys get up and move about instead of sitting tonic. Aaron knows this so he hasn't any clue that I would have contemplated purchasing this for him on my own. So he starts relating to me tonight why he thinks it would be a good game to get and that he wants to go buy it. I am staring at the bread- wanting to keep his present a surprise because that's important to me- and so I casually ask him if he would mind putting off purchasing it for a little while. "Why?' he asks. Now I hit a blank. duhhhhhh..... I don't want to lie and tell him I want to make sure it is an acceptable game before he gets it because he has already presented all his facts and I know he would be dissapointed that I am making him wait and being controling about it and that would cause negative feelings between us....blahblahblah so I just sit there kneading the bread and then finally turn around and say 'just because!' He sees the look on my face and realizes immediately that I was getting it for him for Christmas and comes over so sweetly to tell me that it is just as wonderful a surprise to find out now as it would have been come Christmas. I don't think so and being a pregnant highly emotional woman, tear up. He scratched my back and said a million nice things about how wonderful I was and how happy he is. I know he really is surprised and extrememly pleased but somehow the timing of Christmas morning and unwrapping it to find out was something I had really built up in my mind. oh well.... he really was so sweet. sigh
