Andru asked me to open a Gatorade for him. After I did so I handed it back to him. He continued to hold it between us and asked, "Do you want a sip?" This was before he even took a sip for himself.
He is so giving. I hate to stifle it when we're out and about shopping, but I can't buy everything for every one when he suggests it. Seriously, every trip to any store he spots something he wants me to buy somebody. I need to get him on an allowance so he can begin to understand how money works.
I have taught him a few things, but most of his giving nature- I have no idea how that happened. I did teach him that ladies go thru doors before men recently. It is absolutely adorable to hear him say, "After you" while gesturing ahead of him. He's not perfect, by any means. He is five years old and can be a brat sometimes. He struggles to share and still pitches fits. But, for the most part, he thinks of others first. And, when he does so- I feel like I'm doing something right!
