Bragging

We’re always telling our kids not to boast or brag, but at the risk of sounding boastful I have to tell you how proud I am of PJ.  He earned $5 for helping Patrick plant upwards of 40 seedlings on Saturday.  (sidenote: The $5 was actually a surprise for him.  He was just planting out of the goodness of his heart with only a little pleading from Patrick). 

Fast forward to Sunday morning.  PJ’s reading the announcement in the bulletin that says May is our church’s month to stock a local food pantry.  He turns to me and asks if he can use his $5 to buy food for the food drive.  I know there’s no such things as stupid questions, but seriously?  OF COURSE!!!!!!!

So yesterday after school, with his $10 (I gave him a matching grant), he took the list to the grocery store and bought at least one of each thing that was marked “critically low.”

I love that kid.
