Toddler Thursday: I'm thankful for ...
It's Sarah K.K., back with a Thanksgiving installment of Toddler Thursday ...
This week, for pretty obvious reasons, I've been reflecting on the things I'm thankful for, and moment by moment, the list has been growing. Here are some of the highlights:
-- I'm thankful for my amazing son, Isaac, whose adventures are often recounted here. He is my joy.
-- I'm thankful for getting the chance to see my husband be such a loving, caring, thoughtful and fun father and to have him as my partner in this thrilling challenge called parenthood.
-- I'm thankful for our parents and step-parents, who have given us so much love and support over the years and are all amazing grandparents. I just wish we didn't live so far away from all of them.
-- I'm thankful for all the little moments in Isaac's toddlerhood that make me stop and notice things and recapture my own sense of wonder.
-- I'm thankful for my favorite sounds in the world: Isaac's hysterical laughter and his nascent attempts to say, "I love you."
-- I'm thankful for my fabulous moms' group, which has given me so much support and reassurance and many new friendships. It's been so fun watching the little ones grow from newborns to toddlers together; the coming years should bring even more of that joy.
-- I'm thankful for my circle of Internet friends, many of whom are also now parents, too, who have shared advice, support, laughter and tears for the past several years.
-- I'm thankful for the caring teachers at Isaac's school, who provide him -- and us -- with comfort and knowledge and fun.
That's just the start of the list of things that have made me feel so blessed this year, as a person and as a parent.
What are you thankful for?
