Entry FeedThis weekend was a wonderful Thanksgiving for me and my family. As life gets faster and busier, I like to focus on family time and appreciating each of my children more and more. And appreciating Husband more, too.
Daughter, starting JK, has become such a little girl! But a big, little girl. She has outgrown her size three clothes, grabbing her snack and backpack and heading out the door with her big brothers each morning. She is still the little delicious girl, small enough to carry everywhere! And now also getting big enough to be more independent.
A few weeks ago, on one of the rainy morning before school, I dropped all three of them off at the gate. It was Daughter's first school day with rain, and I asked her brothers to introduce her to the rain-day-protocol (through the main doors, to your classroom before the bell). The two boys BOTH offered to take her to her class, shared the responsibility (one holding her hand, the other carrying her backpack) and off the three of them went. That was a teary mom moment for me, realizing my good kids, how the three of them have one another to rely on when they need to.
Son Two has entered Grade One this year. He takes school more seriously than Son One, but doesn't say much. Bringing home his perfect spelling test each week, I marvel at his beautiful printing. He is quiet and reserved, but is going through a phase where Dad and I are actually allowed to hug and cuddle him lots. I am so lucky!
Son One is in Grade Three. According to him, he is quite "famous." You see, Son Two is in a spit, so the Grade Twos want to hang out with his big brother, thus making Son One think he is famous. Love it! I actually like him developing some self-confidence as he has a tendency to get down on himself a little too easily.
I am so thankful for my three wonderful children. Yes, they are definitely not perfect. But I adore them anyway, and they mean the world to me. Happy Thanksgiving!
