Thank you to all you wonderful ladies (and gentleman - yep there was one Ü) who shared your feelings of gratitude here at my blog!!! I can't tell you how good it felt to read the warmth and tenderness expressed in each of your entries. Each day I have been trying to make it a priority to start my day thinking about what it is that I am grateful for and then ending it on that same note. Positivity (is that even a word - or is it just my word - LOL) in life is hard at times, but it makes such an enormous difference in how we are able to get through the curveballs that are thrown our way. Thank you all so much for joining me and brightening my day!
So, as you can see, Taylor is our big winner Ü Congratulations Taylor!!!
It always makes me grin when I have my little one "help me". We didn't get to it before bedtime last night and so it was this morning after she was done eating breakfast we started our little "selection process". After telling her that I had another important job for her to do and reminding her of the previous selection she had made she once again asked me., "Mommy, did I do a good job on the last one?"
Oh the big smile on her face when I answered her, telling her that she had done a great job just makes me grin again. She then asks me "Why do I get to do it again? Why not Maddi?"
I explained that I had forgotten this morning when I was helping Maddi get out the door to school. Would she prefer that I give her sister a turn instead? She grinned from ear to ear and said, "No, not this time. She can do the next one!" LOL!
So this morning I told her she needed to pick any number from 1-35. "Any number?" she asks.
"Yep, any number."
So she picked "three" and quickly followed up with her favorite question - "did I pick a good number mommy?"
Bless her heart - she is such a little ray of sunshine in my life!!! "Yes, sweetie you picked a wonderful number. I know that whoever has that number is going to be so very happy!"
With that off she skipped singing a happy tune before we headed to the bus. So Taylor, if you could please send me an email with your address I would love to get your "little something" together and into the mail to you. Thank you for sharing your life with me here in cyberworld!!!
WAHOO... that's me!! And yes Joy... I'll bring it next weekend! LOL! :)
