- A set of tuning pegs for the guitar he is building.
- An already opened bag of dark M&M's. (They were easy to grab from the kitchen cupboard.)
- His down feather blanket. (Earnestly requested by Aaron for the last month. He reports his current blankets creep up on him, and his feet end up hanging out.)
- A note from Mom.

| During my young teens years, I came up with this little set of arms that I put on cards, letters, notes, and now boxes. They travel well! |
In the note, I announced to our son that he has officially graduated from just being "spoiled" to "spoiled rotten." It was Dad who finally told Aaron we would send it to him during the next few weeks. I'm still in a state of disbelief.
On the bright side, it will be much easier to fill out the paperwork at the post office. A tip for future parents or friends sending care packages: write a list of all the items you put in it as you box it up. The post office wants to know exactly what is in there. I didn't know this for the first package, and I probably stood at the counter for 15 minutes recreating the long list of stuff I stuffed in the box. Even Aaron was impressed with my first packing job as he reported how he kept pulling stuff out. He did also report that there was a different piece of tape on box, and it looked like customs had gone through it. I'm not surprised.
