the kid has been working very hard to earn an allowance and save his money to buy an xbox360, and after we counted his money last night, we determined he was about $100 away from his goal. his grandpa came over this morning, not knowing this, and handed him an envelope with $100 in it.
the kid counted out the money, and got an astonished look on his face... "one HUNDRED dollars! oh, thank you, Pa!" he had tears in his eyes as went over to give his grandpa a huge hug. he then turned to me and asked, "after Pa leaves, can we go get my xbox360? PLEASE?" Pa wasn't about to make his grandson wait, so we climed into the car and went shopping.
I'm so proud of him for being willing to wait until after his pa left and didn't try to push him out the door... and Pa was eating up all the hugs that were showered on him.
