Spreading The Love

Cy's Advent for today was to go through his toys and books and make a pile of goodies to share with other little boys, full of things he doesn't care to play with or read anymore. He was so good about it, so excited to give his precious items away. I had to remind him that they were going to some other little boys house to stay forever, that certainly slowed down the "giving" a little bit:) We are going to put a nice bag together to take to Goodwill this weekend and I'll let him give the items to the collection agent so it will be official. My plan is to do this each Christmas to cut down on the clutter in our house and so that Cyrus gets in the habit of giving and sharing his possessions with others. His playroom and bedroom seem a bit barren right now but I went way overboard with Christmas this year so we'll fill right back up again very soon.
