Giving is Good!

Yesterday Dillion was holding on to 2 balloons (on behalf of Damien also), complimentary from Mc Donalds.

A little girl walked passed us and kept pointing at the balloon, refusing to walk away with her Parents.

I can sense her Parent looking very irritated.. So I talked to Dillion and get him to give her one. He refused as he kept insisting that the 2nd balloon is meant for Damien, and he would want to keep it for him .. How sweet right but sweet days don't come everyday! And so I reasoned out with him by telling him that
1. We still have some balloons at home
2. Damien had gone home with Daddy, he would have long forgotten about the ballon!

He then agreed to give her the balloon and for this good act.. I gave him star as a reward.

So on the way back home, we talked about his good deeds.. about sharing and giving.
Here the conversation:

Me: Mummy is proud of you being able to share and give away the balloon.
D: Yes mummy, like i still have some balloons at home and i can give 1 away if i don't need it.
Me: Yep.. is good to give.. you make the little girl very happy!
D: so next time i have so much money, i will also give away and make people happy?

Dear Dillion, Mummy is always so proud of you!
