When I went to pick Ethan (6) and Julia up from school today, Ethan came out of his class with a smile, carefully carrying a cupcake in his hands. As I approached, he said, "I can share with you Dad." Although I thought that was nice, I am not too much of a cupcake fan and I was confident that the one that he got from someone who was having a birthday in his class could never compare to the masterpieces that Rebecca makes (she does a cream cheese frosting that I could eat by the spoonfuls). When we got to the car he let me know that he would share with Julia, Christian, and Elliott instead. At home I cut it into quarters and he happily gave each of his siblings a piece. It was fun to see the excitement that came to each of their faces as they ate their shares. And it was really neat to see that Ethan was willing to give up an entire cupcake that would fill him up for one or two bites so that his siblings could have some.
Ethan is my superhero today for sharing his treat with his siblings.
