Today I am thankful for little kitchen helpers.
Even when they are not so helpful…
Ian enjoys helping me in the kitchen, sometimes his mess is usually worse than mine, but it keeps the peace while I cook.
It is not visible but there is powdered grains all over the counter. He is such a good helper.
Today I am thankful for being able to throw my shells on the floor.
Last night after swim lessons we ventured out to dinner with my mom, my sister and her family. This was our first diaper free outing.
Having to feed the baby, feed Ian, take him to the bathroom, change pants and all the other things I had to handle, I was thankful my mom and sister were with me.
It was nice to be at a restaurant where Ian could unshell peanuts, throw them on the floor and no one cares.
Today I am thankful for sprinkles on pancakes.
For Ian’s birthday this year I made him these Cake Batter Pancakes. About four or five months later I made him pancakes and he looks up at me raises is palms up and asks “where da sprinkles mama?”
Where are the sprinkles? So now we don’t always have sprinkles on our pancakes, but we do when he asks for them.
Recently we were with my mom at the craft store and he saw these Christmas sprinkles and asked for them, and of course Bamma gave in and purchased them. The next morning’s pancakes, and yesterdays, started getting in the Christmas spirit by donning themselves in sugary goodness.
Good thing we brush our teeth after breakfast, nothing like a coating of syrup and sprinkles to eat away at enamel.
Today I am thankful for yesterday being a good diaper free day
My oldest son is two and a half years old and with me being home on maternity leave we are buckling down on the potty training this week. Yesterday was a great day for him and I hope the rest of the week will be the same.
I won’t go into details, if you want you can read about it here. I have been trying to keep a blog for my boys about what I am going through while raising them.
Do you have something you are thankful for?
