When Reid outgrows clothing or doesn’t need something anymore, I tell her that we will to give it to kids who need it. When daycare has one of its food drives (2 per year), we take food because sometimes mommies and daddies try very hard but just can’t get enough food for their families. I don’t make a big deal of either sort of charity; I just try to make it seem like something that people just do.

This morning, Reid noticed her highchair was still in the dining room. Yes, *still*, even after I wrote that Reid and Ken happily gave it up a couple weeks ago. I don’t write about home organization tips and there’s a reason for that. In any case, Reid wanted to talk about it.

Reid: I don’t need a highchair, Mama. We should give it to someone who needs it
Mama: You’re right. We’ll give it away.
Reid: To a little baby. (Imagine Reid hold her hand up, with her index finger and thumb indicating a baby about 2-inches long while she kind of squints)
Mama: Sure, Reid.
Reid: I use a chair like you.
Mama: You do. You’re getting big. (The booster lasted no more than 3 days.)
