Last weekend we had
one croupy toddler
(it was one of the more alarming experiences of my mothering journey)
but N is now getting better
Now we have
one getting-better toddler,
one coughing preschooler,
one runny nosed baby,
and one sore throated Mama.
The Mr. is steering clear...
I wonder if he'll escape unscathed.
I've said many times how grateful I am
that we've avoided so many strings of
illness this winter...
...so I guess we're due.
With puffs plus by my side,
I'd like to make my
Thankful list this morning:
I'm Thankful For:
-The Mr. having three (!!) weeks in a row of home-every-night fabulousness
-Educational websites to keep the preschooler entertained/learning even when he has missed preschool this week (no need to spread these nasty germs!)
-Surprise birthday packages, wrapped up with colorful nephew drawings
-Attentive pediatricians & cozy blankets
-"Gocky Gocky" (Rocky,Rocky) time in the recliner with my babies
-A self-soothing babe (although I'm on the fence with my feelings about a thumb sucker)
-The Dollar Tree (honestly, I love that place)
-Quality friendships
-Plans for trips & visitors over the next month
-The opportunity to share my love for Portugal at a RS meeting this week (and go through my 3 boxes of memories...!)
-Cozy pajamas (our every-day attire for the last week)
-A day of sunshine & a day of clouds (I love both)
-Forecasts for more sunshine :)
-Dairy free options from Trader Joe's
-One super-sparkling clean bathroom (thanks to Mr. H)
-Reminders that I am part of a bigger picture
-Sweet baby snorts & snoring sounds
-J's excitement for a balloon he can call his own
-N's new discovery of CLIMBING (watch out, world...bruises & bumps ahead!)
-My every-day blessings
I'm feeling sniffly & thankful.
You?
