My heart melted when I read this story... I think these 2 children are already great influences. The following story is from the mother of 2 young boys.
I was talking with the boys about Christmas, and that this year we are not going to have a lot of gifts. My eldest told me that it's ok because they have too many toys anyway. So as the discussion continues, we talk about the possibility of donations instead of some gifts. Both boys embraced this idea more than I thought they would to be honest - what kid will pass up toys?? Anyway, when Grandma asked what they wanted, my eldest said "just a small toy and then help dogs and cats". My husband's mom looked at me puzzled to say the least. I explained everything and in my son's name a donation will be made to a local shelter for Christmas. When my youngest was asked about it, he wanted to help the rain forest. So a donation will be made in his name to the Arbor Day Foundation Rain Forest Rescue. It made my heart happy that they were not "coached" on what to say. It was a discussion we had, and they chose to follow through on it.
