Braelyn and Bailey's first donation

So, I'm so proud of my 2 year old daughters for making their first donation. Twain and I are very big into donating our time, money, and things to help those less fortunate. Probably why I spent my entire career (all 6 years of it..ha!) in the social services industry. When Bailey was 10 months old, she had a rare problem that shut her system down and she spent 3 days in the pediatric unit in the hospital. They had one wagon for all the kids to share so my mom brought Bailey her tribike that her Grandpa had bought her for Christmas. She was so miserable and so fussy that Twain and I pushed her on that bike all around the hospital for the bulk of the day. She loved it and all the older people that were on the same floor would just clap and cheer when she would drive by. Well, she has outgrown her bike and her and Braelyn took it up there today to donate to the hospital so the "sick kids" as Bailey called them could use it while they are in the hospital. Of course, they are 2 so their first reaction was No that is my bike but by the time we were finished, they were saying "we give our bike to sick kids:)" Proud moment for Momma!
