Day 5

This day was about helping out others.  The boys have opportunities throughout the year to donate items they no longer need or use.  That also goes for toys!  Now, I know the picture of Bubba looks really sad, but I should explain that he was upset about a particular toy that was actually broken that we decided it needed to go in the trash.  Both of them were happy to help clean out toys and donate especially "baby" toys that they felt like they had outgrown.  I was proud of their choices and for being so helpful.  Lyndon and I both understand that it is difficult for young children to understand the concept of letting go of their belongings. So, we took our time and discussed each item they chose to donate.  Nothing was forced (despite the sad look on Luke's face), and they were excited to make room for the new stuff coming their way soon!
