Don't eat the cake, share the cake.

Have you ever seen Word World? There is an episode where Pig makes a cake for Dog, and then eats it right away. They make a new one and frog, or ant?, is constantly reminding Pig,
DON'T EAT THE CAKE, SHARE THE CAKE.
Last night we had a sharing moment with food and I was VERY proud of Travis. I bought "Panda Food" (Panda Express) and the boys fell asleep on the way home. When Travis woke up he said he was hungry. I let him eat his dinner and I gave him half of the fortune cookie. He was grumpy and started balling for another cookie when he was done with his half. I told him there wasn't anymore, and after a while I gave in and I told him. There is one more left, but Wesly hasn't had any. You can have Wesly's cookie, or you can put it on his plate and share it with him.
Travis was so nice, he said he wanted Wesly to have it, and he was happy again and finished his rice and chicken.

That is really one of those moments to treasure as a mother. I love when Riley shows compassion to other family members.

What a sweetheart. I think it is great you explained everything to him and he decided he wanted to share. Sometimes I make my kids share too much it is nice when the want to share!! Good job Wesley:)
