Big heart!

I always knew Jaden was special and had such an amazing heart but this week he proved it to me more than I can explain. I am walking the Avon Breast Cancer walk and I have talked about it a lot latley with him and sometimes on the phone (but he listens to everything). He knows I have to raise money and he said to me "I am going to help you" one afternoon. I thanked him and he went on to play wii and do kid stuff. He went to a birthday party this weekend and his dad gave him $10 just in case he wanted something from the snack bar (even though the party had food. haha). He came home from the party and I asked him how it went and he said "mom it was great but I have something for you". I was waiting for some craft to be handed to me from the party or another birthday invitation to another kids party when he handed me the $10 bill. He said "Dad gave this to me for food but I didn't want to get anything because I wanted to give it to you for your walk". My heart melted right then. He then went on to ask all the things he could do to help. He wanted to sell lemonade and even said he would stand on the corner with a sign. hahahahahaha He made a jar with the words BREAST CANCER FUND on it and started collecting all the coins around our house. He even rounded up his brother and sister to help him collect money from their piggy banks. In a few short days of collecting change and his $10, we now have almost $20. I am proud to say I have one of the kindest kids in the world. His heart amazes me and now he is teaching his brother and sister. I love my kids
