Daily Thanks Day 7

Today I am thankful for my mom and this thingamajigy.

My mom has had this bath tub thing since my nieces were babies.  I used it with my first son, my brother used it with theirs and now I have it back.  I had my mom make a new cover for it as the previous one was falling apart.

I have one small bathroom and I couldn’t imagine where I would be able to store an infant bath tub.  So this sling-thing is perfect for bath time.  I don’t know where it came from or what brand it is, but I haven’t been able to find one like it.  Sometimes baby slips a little down towards his feet but his head is always out of the water, and he can’t roll into the water either.  The cover comes off and goes in the washing machine.

Yesterday was bath day and it reminded me how much easier this sling makes giving baby a bath.

Daily Thanks Day 6

Today I am thankful for election day.

Not only am I thankful we have the ability to make our voices heard but also because campaigning is over.  We have relied too much on making the opponent look bad instead of making ourselves look good.  I am also thankful I don’t have to read my friends negative comments about candidates on Facebook anymore.

That all being said, I am also thankful that we all have the right to say how we feel about our government without fear of persecution.

Daily Thanks Day 5

Today I am thankful for cuddle time, all 45 seconds of it.

My son is a very active two-year old boy.  He typically doesn’t sit down very long.  So when I get a chance to hold him I take it!

Daily Thanks Day 4

Today I am thankful for toaster waffles.

Toddlers, infants and dogs do not understand the concept of adding an hour to our day and sleep.  So everyone started to wake up at 6:30 on a Sunday!  I have not gone to the store yet, and didn’t have the ingredients for pancakes.  Luckily in our freezer were some toaster waffles for our toddler to have for breakfast while I wake up with a cup of coffee.
