My brother just adopted a little girl, and she is about the same age. They did the same thing, and she is a little stingy too. The way I look at it is, she came from having nothing to having everything, and I just can't blame them, or you for going overboard. They, afterall are just little kids, and all kids are stingy. That doesn't mean they are brats, spoiled, etc. It just means they are kids. Quite honestly, its good that they can be kids again and not worry about all the issues that brought them to foster care in the first place! And its good that he is comfortable enough with you and your DH to be himself and act stingy once in a while.
Good Luck! You are doing an amazing thing, and when he is older, he will never forget how good you have been to him!
