sharing

I just want to record somewhere that Lauren Margaret Moore likes to share. The girl loves to share. I can hardly give her something without her suggesting that she share part of it with someone else.

At dinner, if she wants seconds, she'll first ask, "Do we have enough for Daddy when he comes home?" When the nice lady at the dry cleaner gives her two oreos she always saves one for Ella. Recently, she held the second oreo in her grip, showing incredible restraint, while we ran two or three errands before reluctantly letting me put it in my purse. (She didn't want it to get "crumbly.") When she got two suckers, instead of shouting hooray that she had two, she said, "Mom, look! I have two! Do you think Ella wants one?" She is always much more excited to see someone's reaction when she gives them something than she is to enjoy it herself. And she's three.

I can take no credit. Lauren was born a generous soul. And I think she is amazing.
