absolutely melts my heart. he can be a little obsessive about money because he always has a list of things he wants to buy like the newest star wars figure or bakugan. so he reminds me when i owe him allowance or he tries to claim "finders/keepers" to the dollar he spies next to his sister's wallet (knowing full well it's hers). well, today at the farmer's market he asked me for a dollar...make that two, is what he actually said. when i asked him for what, he pointed over to the man playing an instrument and said, "it's for him. i'd like to give him some money." and when he came back he said, "i'd like to give him two dollars every time we come back to the market, mom." whenever i think i have created a spoiled brat, he surprises me with kindness and generosity, not to mention an appreciation for the arts. (earlier this week he gave me heartache by destroying a large iron man figure. for some reason, he likes to rough 'em up a bit. it just seems wasteful. i mean, there are so many kids without toys and i have a son who likes to damage his toys.)
