Busy Bugs

 Today M and I were talking about why we celebrate Thanksgiving. I had him think about all the things we have that we should be thankful for, such as: our family, a warm house, toys, clothes, preschool, food, clean water, etc. I told him that not all families are as lucky as ours and that they may not have the money to buy food from the store like we can. I realize 3 may seem like a REALLY early age to be talking about issues such as hunger and poverty (I mean, let’s face it, little children by nature are egocentric beings) but I figure it’s never too early to at least plant the seed of compassion and citizenship.
