Thankful Thursday.

It's Thursday, and I am fully aware it's not Thanksgiving month, but I've decided Thankful Thursday needs to be around more than just November!

What are you thankful for today?

Here's mine:

1. Good doctor's visit.

This girl had her two year appointment yesterday and weighed in at a whopping 25 pounds. Twenty-five pounds.

The nurse checked and double-checked. {And yes Miss E had clothes and a diaper on which counts as 1 pound.}

Considering 8 months ago we were struggling to get the child to gain enough weight and back in September she was losing weight, this is so, so good.

Her doctor told us to keep doing what we're doing.

I've never been so happy to see her start growing out of clothes {some of which she's been wearing since last winter!}

Her ears are perfect. Everything else is great. And though she's gained weight she's still in the 25th percentile. She goes in to the allergist after the holidays where we'll hopefully have more answers and maybe even go away from some of her food restrictions.

2. Snow.

I will probably regret saying that in a couple days when we get dumped on again but so far this year winter isn't really bothering me all that much. The temperature hasn't been too cold and the snow we've gotten has been fun for the kids.

3. Naptime.

I am realizing just how precious the window of time I have when E naps is as the last two weeks she's been a little hit or miss.

Today I really needed {and wanted!} her to nap and nope, she wasn't having it. I want to wisely use {and appreciate!} the days and times I still have naptime. She's always been such a good sleeper that I think I've taken her good naps for granted and thought of it as time I would always have to get things done and I am realizing, it's dwindling.

I am, however, praying that this is just a growth spurt and her normal three hour plus naps are soon to return.


So, what are you thankful for today?
