Today I am thankful for THESE boys!
For two and a half years Ian has been the center of my world. He now shares that spot with his little brother.
Everyday I wake up for them, everything I do is for them. To make them safe, happy, healthy.
I love them with all of my being and could not image my life with out them.
Everyday I am thankful they are mine.
Today I am thankful for indoor pools at rec. centers.

Yesterday was a typical Pacific Northwest fall day. Cold, big, thick drops of water falling from dark gray cloud covered skies.
My toddler was getting a bit antsy staying inside so when my cousin called to tell me she was taking her daughter, who is only a week older than Ian, swimming I jumped at the chance to go.
The kids had a blast and burned off tons of energy. Ian went down the big red slide, but only once. He didn’t like the fact that we go under water at the end. He said it scared him, but there was the little kid slide with a shark on it.
Today I am thankful for a big imagination.
I know I have posted a lot of thanks for my son, but he amazes me almost daily.
Yesterday while making him pancakes he got in to a kitchen drawer to play. He said my mixer attachment was a tree and the bird cookie cutter was stuck. In his little voice he took the candy cane cookie cutter and said “don’t worry, I save you. I to da rescue! Mama, it a giant candy cane. I hook birdy, I get baby birdy down, I save him.”
His face just beaming with pride.
I just love his imagination.
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.
