Sympathy Bedtime

This incident happened the night before he was to go back into the Operating Room for the 9th time. I was going to get his PJs on shortly, but was letting him watch TV in his room for a few minutes before making him go to bed. I had absolutely no idea that he quietly went into the pantry and grabbed the Sam's size back of chips and took them back to his room. When I walked in to put his PJs on, thinking that he was relaxing and on the verge of falling asleep (at least one could hope), I find him like this. I asked him, "What are you doing little boy?!" Ammon's reply in a typical "duh, Mom" tone, "I'm eating chips!" What else would he be doing?

So, feeling sorry for him, I let him eat chips and watch TV in his room until he fell asleep.
