Lessons from my Four-Year-Old

My Pressley bug is one of the most caring, self-less people I know. Two days ago, she came to me and asked if she could take some money out of her piggy bank to give to people who needed new clothes. So we emptied out her coins and she pulled $20 in change out and asked what she could do with it. That motivated her big sister to do the same and together my two girls decided to give $40 to Operation Christmas Child and send two packages to kids who won't get much for Christmas.

Going back a bit further...

In January I mentioned to Pressley something about growing her hair out and donating it to Locks of Love. We got on the website and looked at photos of children who had received "new hair" after loosing their own from sicknesses. Pressley decided right then she wanted to help these other children and grow her out, then cut it off. After 10 months of growing it out, she did just that. Jamie, our hair dresser cut about 9 inches off Pressley's hair today. Pressley BEAMED the entire time. She could not contain her smiles and excitement. I am so proud of her. Her willingness to give away what she has amazes me and continues to teach me everyday.
