      Layla is also an A type personality with a LOT of exuberance…(can’t imagine where she gets it from)…LOL!!! But, I think a lot of people mistake her personality/exuberance as being spoiled. At the end of the day she’s still only 3 and this is her first experience with giving unselfishly. It’s a learning process and I believe her parents handled it well. 🍁🍂Happy Thanksgiving all!!!🦃

    When my son was going through chemo a local church bought all of his Xmas gifts one year. I cannot explain how absolutely grateful I was. We had no money due to expenses, my son was 16 at the time and he understood the situation and didn't care about getting gifts, I mean I'm sure he was bummed but he's not ya know, spoiled. Christmas Eve the lady showed up with like 20/30 gifts to put under the tree. She had asked a couple weeks prior to give her a list of all the things he wanted and I thought maybe 2-3 they would get him. They got him every single thing on the list. It blew my mind and my heart.
    So thanks for helping those in need. It makes a difference.

    My husband and I put $2.00 a week in a Christmas club account for each of our kiddos. They got to choose a name off of the angel tree and buy for that child. They really enjoyed that tradition. It was special for them to learn to give to others in need, and they enjoyed choosing the gifts themselves, and paying with their own money.

    I love how you are teaching Layla and Zade young about thinking of others and not making Christmas just about them. It is natural for kids Layla's age to be egocentric; so Layla wanting to keep gifts for herself does not indicate anything wrong. Just keep teaching them about doing for others and it will become more natural with time. Just a little bit of encouragement. I love your family and look forward to your weekly vlogs. Happy Thanksgiving Evan and Carlin!

    Carlin I love how you take the time to explain things to Layla instead of using most parents way of “because I said so”. I think maybe that’s why Layla is so smart and understanding beyond her years is because you take the time to help her understand rather than just trying to make her do what you want. You help her to be able to truly enjoy giving rather than “having” to give ❤

I have 2 granddaughters who are almost 5 and I know it's an ongoing process of teaching little ones how to share, but Layla did so well and so many of her responses to choosing gifts for her 'friend' are the same that I get from my grandkids so I had a laugh then.

    So sweet. She’s learning! It’s very hard for littles this age to understand, but you are doing an amazing job teaching her. ❤️Even wanting to split the headbands was cute. She wanted to share one of them. 💝💕
