Caroline & Giving

Shilo, Caroline & Aubrey,

Last night at the store, after being very nice and talking and talking to the nice black man behind us in line at the grocery store, that nice man gave Caroline a $5 bill, Merry Christmas he said. My wife tried to give it back, but he wouldn't take it.

Shilo to Caroline: What do you want to do with your $5, buy something?
Caroline: Yes, I want to buy that stuffed animal.
Shilo: Are you sure, do you want to think about it? Maybe you could buy something for someone who isn't going to get any presents this year.
Later, on the ride home,
Caroline: I have thought about it, and I want to buy something for someone who isn't going to get presents this year.

I love that Caroline is starting to think about others!
