My GENEROUS 6 year old!

This year a few weeks before Reuben's birthday I began asking him what he would like for his birthday gift. He thought about it for a day or two and came back to me and said, "Mommy, I thought about my birthday present and I have a lot of toys maybe we should buy a toy for a boy who doesn't have any toys." I was so proud that this was what he had come up with, but to be honest I wasn't sure that this idea would stick. Boy was I wrong, he kept insisting this was what he wanted. So off we went to Toys'rUs, he picked out a couple of things and today we brought them to Dorette at the Caledonia Food Bank. (Mason was pretty excited too and wanted to be in the picture)He was excited to bring this, but was hoping to be able to give the gift directly to the needy family. We talked a lot about giving of our gifts to those who need our help, Reuben is excited to do so. I am so proud of Reuben, his generous spirit and his sweet, thoughtful personality.
