A giving spirit

Recently dg5 participated in a memory study with the U of A. They came to the house three times and played a memory game with him and recorded the results for their study. As a consequence dg5 received a gift certificate to Target.

Today nh took the boys shopping for gifts for his cousins. His oldest cousin, cj, is a kid he idolizes. He really loves him and cj has been kind, gentle and patient with him. I really love that about cj. So when it came time to buy cj a present dg5 wanted to buy him the biggest one there was. It was outside our budgeted money and nh carefully explained it to dg5. Dg5 thought for a minute and offered to make up the difference with his gift card.

It was the first sign of selflessness I've seen in him lately and quite frankly it warms the cockles of my heart.
