In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, I've decided to dedicate each Thursday of the month to post something that I'm thankful for. Cheesy? Ok, maybe, but sometimes it's important to express our gratitude for the good things in life - cheesy or not! So here goes...
This week, the last of my maternity leave, I'm especially thankful for... wait for it... MY BABY! More specifically, I'm so thankful for the last three months that I've been able to spend with her without the distractions that come with my classroom. Through the ups and downs, doctor appointments and play dates, coos and poos, sleepless nights and afternoon naps, I've gobbled (hehe... sorry couldn't resist) up every second with my baby girl. We are now so connected and full of love for each other. Though I will miss her terribly next week when I go back to work, I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to spend this time with her.
P.S. Happy 18th Birthday to my little brother! I can't believe you're an "adult" now, Bubba! It feels like just yesterday I was making funny faces and airplane noises so your plane spoon of food could land in your eager and open mouth. I'm thankful for you too! :)
