BREAKING NEWS: Boy Saves Family From Starvation!!


Kaden- "Mom, you can have some of my money."
Mom- "Why? Is it so I can buy you more Christmas presents?" [I've had to tell him that he can't have EVERYTHING he sees so I figured he just wanted more, more, more!!]
Kaden- "No."
Mom- "Why do you want to give me your money?"
Kaden- "So you can buy more food or something. I have a lot of big ones and some small ones too." [talking about quarters, nickles, pennies & dimes]

Oh my goodness!! How sweet is that? I'm not sure what spurred him to want to help contribute to our grocery fund... we have plenty of food in case you are worried... but you never know with this economy!! I told him he could keep his money, but thanked him for offering it. He has always been a very kind and thoughtful boy and I feel so blessed to be his mom.

Very thoughtful. Maybe he just wants you to buy the RIGHT foods though. You know, like fruit snacks and chips and stuff :)

What a good boy! I love how they think so deeply about things. I bet you must have said something like "there is no food in this house"??? I say that all the time and my kids probably get worried.

What a sweet boy! It's fun to see, even at this young age, how awesome their little personalities are and what it will shape up to be as they grow older :)

Good job mommy!
