Sharing

I always hoped that my kids would share their stuff with each other....but I didn't want them to share their colds! Oh well, they've shared with me also. In their defense though, I gave it to them first and they are just returning the favor. How sweet of them.

Well Sophia is now 3 weeks old, and doing just fine. She doesn't like to sleep in her carseat when she is sick, but has no problem crashing in bed. Hope her sinus don't mind too much.

Ethan has gone from a very "whatever" kinda baby to a whiny toddler (but he's also got a cold and is cutting more teeth). And mommy, is suffering another head cold on top of little to no sleep, so I'm in a complaining mood. I should be sleeping, everyone else is, except Merrick he is getting pumpkin seeds outta some pumpkins so they can be baked.

Sophie, the queen of the 10 - 15 min. power nap, is now awake. Ethan, who once he falls asleep sleeps, is snoozing through his 3rd hour & headed into hour #4. Oh to be young again! Forget being young again, I would just enjoy some sleep again. However, I know that as Sophie get's older, I'll get more sleep. At least until she start's dating :)

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, the ultimate day of sharing. I'd like to take this moment to share what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for my wonderful husband who calls me mid morning just to see how I'm doing and to tell me he loves me, and who comes home to ciaos after a long day at work to find me still in pj's (in pretty much the same spot he left me in) and calls me beautiful and tell's me he loves me & then jumps in the middle of ciaos with the kids.

I'm thankful for my wonderful, oldest son Merrick. He's been thru a lot with me over the years and hasn't flaked out (not to much anyway) on me yet! He welcomed Tim into our lives and then has been a terrific big brother to Ethan and now to Sophie. He's also taught me a lot about parenting.

I'm thankful for Ethan, who is still teaching me a new language. He is my snuggly reader and likes to curl up with and nap with mommy. He keeps me on my toes (as do most toddlers) and he keeps a smile on my face.

I'm thankful for Sophia, who's delivery was quick & easy (compaired to the other 2). She came on time and didn't cause much trouble, but she's making up for it. Her daddy calls her "little miss temper tantrum". I wonder where she get's it from......

I'm also very thankful for the rest of my family! Without whom (and you know who you are) I would have joined the looney bin long ago!

So as you are at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, look around your table and think about who & what your thankful for.
