Dance class stretches

Jaden always comes up with unique things, and I hate to stifle her creativity... This is what happened the day of her dance class:
Jaden was in the house walking around with a red gift bag (probably one of the gift bags from Morgan's birthday party in January). She was picking up various things, and putting them into the bag. Some of the contents were:
1. a muffin that she had opened the plastic wrap on, but I told her that she couldn't eat
2. a plate that goes to her kitchen
3. a baby toy key chain
There were a few other toys, but I forget now what all was in there. I asked her what she was doing. She said that she was bringing a present to her dance teacher. When we got to the dance class and were getting out of the car, I told her to leave the gift bag in the car. She had a fit!! She said that she couldn't leave it because it was a gift for her teacher. So, I told her, "Why don't you leave it in the car, and we will get her a real gift from the store and you can bring it next time." She said, "But, I want her to have this one."
I know her heart was in the right place, and I hate to stifle her kindness, so I just let it go. She gave her teacher a muffin that had already been open and toys that have already been played with. She was so excited to see her teacher get excited about the gift, so I guess I have to stop thinking about what was in the bag and think more on the gesture itself. She is a very compassionate child.
