Sense of responsibility

Here's a conversation between me and my son yesterday. But before that, I would like to explain that it was my day off but as we all know even if all Mom are in their days off there's still a lot to do at home. There's a lot of responsibilities to take and to make. 

I was still bed but already awake, taking advantage of my first day off and taking advantage of the fact that everyone is in vacation (except for my husband and me) but nevertheless I don't need to hurry up like every school mornings.  Then my son knocked and went in our room to say good morning. He's a sweet boy just like that.  My son is an early riser no matter what day it is, be it a school day, a weekend or even he is in vacation. Here's  the conversation.

My son: Good morning!

Me: Hi honey. Good morning! Can you please take out Maddie (the dog) and afterwards kindly feed the two (I was referring to our dog and Cookie our cat)

My son: Mom, maybe you mean the three.  Ella is already awake. (His sister). No problem I'll take out Maddie for a walk and feed the three.

And he did. By the time, I got out of my bed, Maddie and Cookie are eating their food and our Ella-la-belle is already eating her cereals.

How I appreciate my son's thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility even at age of 11.
