Cute Kids

Just a couple of examples of how cute my kids are...

Last night Eli and I were having a conversation about charitable giving and why it's important. He decided that if he had $1 million to give to charity, he would give 1/3 of it to the Ronald McDonald House (we're partial to them since my parents had to stay there many years ago while my sister was hospitalized at Riley), 1/3 of it to INHP and 1/3 of it to the American Heart Association, "so they can figure out why people have strokes and how to make them stop". It just melted my heart to listen to him reasoning all of this out so logically.

This morning Leah was playing with one of her Littlest Pet Shop pets. She put him in a bed and said she had to take care of him because he was "poor" (in Leah-speak, this means sick or not feeling well...like, "Oh, poor Daddy!"). I asked her what was wrong with him, and she reported that he had a stroke and needed someone to help him. She says when he can walk again he can go back in the clubhouse with the other pets. Which I suppose mirrors what happened with her dad, at least in her mind. I just thought it was cute, even though I really wish my 4 year old was still blissfully unaware of what a stroke is.
