Daily Thanks Day 14

 

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.

Daily Thanks Day 13

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?

Daily Thanks Day 12

Today I am thankful for this massive pile of laundry.

I am thankful for all this work, all these pieces of clothes to fold and put away because it means my family has been warm and dressed during the start of the cold weather season.

I hate, I mean HATE!!!, putting away the laundry.  Typically it sits in the laundry basket and I just pull the clothes out of it to wear again.  With my 7-week old’s crib and stuff in our bedroom there is no place to put the clean-clothes basket.  So yesterday I had to put away all our clean clothes plus the prematernity clothes that I had stashed away.

Now I am thankful it is done.

Daily Thanks Day 11

Today, and all days, I am thankful for this kid.

This guy is amazing.  He makes me laugh, he is my world.  The crazy things he does and says makes me wish I was recording him at all times.

I love him more than words can say and everyday I am thankful he is my son.
