The little things....
What are the little things you do for you husband?
Each morning I make his coffee for him before he heads out the door. Last week I wrote on the mirror "I love you" so he would see it when it fogged up but I don't think it worked. He didn't say anything.
What are the little things that he does for you?
Last week I was teasing him about stopping at the florist to pick me up flowers, he didn't do that but he did surprise me with a bracelet that he picked up at his work's craft fair. He said that this wouldn't die like flowers would. Yesterday he stopped by the fruit/veggie stand and picked up a box of clementines. He also bought "bananas." These are the greenest bananas I have seen and I think I need to look at recipes for plaintains because I think that is waht they are.
Re: The little things....
I love the little things!
I do for him: Pack his lunch if we have left overs, get him up on saturdays at 5am when I am always off on saturdays, get him cards just to say i love you.
H does for me: This is a though one, he picks me up a soda at night on his way home from work, even when I don't ask for it, I know that sounds lame but it something I used to have to ask for. He brushes my hair when I get out of the shower (ok I have to ask for that one). When he is out buying something for himself he most of the time buys me something it might be something as small as a reusable water bottle or a pair of shorts but I didn't have to ask for them so thats good to me.
In the morning, whoever takes their vitamins first sets an extra of each on top of the lid so it's already out for the other person. I started it, and I'm usually the one to do it, but if H gets up earlier he'll do it. It's little and silly but it makes us smile.
He also leaves little sticky notes for me to find sometimes with messages on them. The other day he put one on top of our change jar.
recently, it's been the fact that DH empties the dish washer for me and helping me clean the house more (cleaning up after himself). Also, he's been less forgetful lately. He also always make sure I'm okay, he'll hold the umbrella for me but it will only cover me and he'll get soaked, Also, I love it when we are walking and he'll pull me to the inside of the sidewalk so I'm not the one that's closest to the street. I think it's cute.
little things I do for him. I pack his lunches, I make sure he doesn't forget his keys, cell phone, and wallet. I do the laundry, make dinner, clean the house (idk if that counts as little things?). I know there are other little things that I do, but I can't think of them right now.
We do for each other: Tell each other "I love you" every time we hang up the phone, leave for work, and go to bed.
I do for him: I buy him clothes because he never takes the time to treat himself to new things. I always buy him candy when I go grocery shopping because he has such a sweet tooth.
He does for me: Wash the dishes before he leaves for work so I won't come home to a sink full of dirty dishes. He also makes the bed every day before leaving for work.
What are the little things you do for you husband?
I turn on sportscenter in our room before I leave. It's his wake up call and he will watch for 15 min before he gets in the shower.
What are the little things that he does for you?
He does laundry. Maybe thats why I married him?
things i do for husband:
frucking everything. make him dinner every.night. make him lunch every.morning. leave him notes when he gets up and leaves before me (i leave them out at night). wake him up in the morning when he over sleeps. buy him beer whenever i go to the store.
things he does for me:
turns the heat on for me in the bedroom before i get home so i dont freeze when i get out of the shower and go into the bedroom. its sweet.
ETA, he also gets home from work about 2 hours before me and usually asks what he can do to help. he ALWAYS gets the mail, does the laundry, and asks if he can start dinner.

It warms my heart to hear all these sweet little things that everyone does for each other just because. Great way to start of Thursday!!
Things I do for him: Make him dinner (when I can), Saturday mornings we get up to watch Gameday I'll make him a vanilla latte and we'll snuggle in bed. Pick him up some gummy candy when I go to the store. send him texts before all his IEP meetings to say how great he is.
Things he does for me: He gets home before me and when he hears me lock my car he opens the door for me and gives me a hug and a kiss. Since I travel a lot, he leaves little post it notes all over the apartment for me. When we go skiing he ALWAYS carries my ski's for me and refuses to let me carry them....I love him.
Jessie - I may just steal this idea from you...I just have to figure out what channel sportscenter is on...haha!
For him:
Make his lunch, put his clean laundry away, give him a foot rub, sometimes buy those single serve ice creams or chocolate to help satisfy his sweet tooth. Some mornings I make him eggs over easy and toast
What he does for me: Gives me shoulder rubs or foot rubs, feeds the cats (that's usually my job), surprises me with flowers, and when we had different work schedules he would call me from home on his day off to say "hi and I love you."
What we do for each other: We always say "I love you"
