The Girl has surprised us of late with her generosity, spending her own money to by a copy of her favorite non-fiction book — she’s always keen to point out that it’s non-fiction — for her friend. She continued today, buying presents for a handful of friends and family from the school Gingerbread House Gift Shop (I guess a Christmas time fundraiser).
When we returned home, she was eager to dig out the wrapping paper and begin layering sheet after sheet on the gifts.
The Boy, on the other hand, is still exploring the more basic giving: the gift of joy.
