Thirty Days of Thankful- Day 5

Day 5

Today I am thankful for a little man that likes to help me cook and do the dishes. I pretty much can't be in the kitchen working without him offering to help. Sometimes I am rushing and have to remember to slow down and let him help.

I have set a goal for myself, I will cook on Sunday a meal for that night and Monday night. We usually have homegroup on Tuesday so are not here for dinner, but Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday my goal is to plan a meal that we can cook together. :) (Friday is usually going to be something leftover from one of the other days.

I am sure this time of him wanting to help me cook and do the dishes will not last forever, but maybe if I make it a special time I can make it last a little longer!

Thirty Days of Thankful- Day 4

Day 4

Today I am thankful for cloudy, rainy sick days. Little man is still running a fever, which I am not thankful for, but it meant I got an extra day home with him. This morning it was cold and rainy and the perfect day for blankets, pillows and movies. He was happy to lay on the couch with me and watch Dinosaur Train. I know that soon he will get big enough to not want mom cuddle time as much. So today I am thankful for the cold and rainy morning that I was given to slow down and take time with little man!

Day 3

Today I am thankful for the students I teach. I have been teaching for 12 years and each year I find something special about the group of kids I teach. But today I was so proud and thankful for the students I teach.

My little man got sick today and I had to go get him. Without a sub available I went back to school with a sleeping little boy. My students were so quiet and so concerned about him. They checked on him, wanted to see him and kept reminding each other to "be quiet the baby is sleeping" and when he woke at the end of the school day, they came to see him awake and yet were so careful to keep a safe distance. Today I am thankful for the students who respect me enough to care about my child.

Day 2

Today I am thankful for this little boy!

He is my little man's best friend. The son of a wonderful friend. He and little man are "brudders" They love each other, they argue, they laugh, they play, they are just plain silly. But when I am with the two of them, the world is just right. Their laughter is the cure for any bad day. Today I am thankful my child has this best friend.

Thirty Days of Thankful- Day 1

I have decided to take on a challenge and blog everyday of November about something I am thankful for...so I am starting now!

DAY 1

Tonight I am thankful for neighbors that are willing to entertain small children, who are trick or treating a night late due to bad weather on Halloween. And to little man's daycare provider who arranged the evening for the kids!

A moment to treasure and cherish!
