Thankful It’s Thursday
Let’s dive right in with the gratitude! Woo!
1. I am very thankful that we have such wonderful neighbors around us. I am constantly struck by how accepting they all are of Gus. The kids play with him when he’s feeling social, but don’t chastise him when he’s not. The parents never give ‘the looks’ and are always kind, even affectionate to both my kids. If they think any or all of us are weird when they’re in private, they never show that, and that’s much appreciated. There are some really good people in our community and I’m glad we moved here.
2. I’m thankful that Gus has learned to come into our room when he wakes up without turning the bright lights on in our faces. He’s comfortable with curling up on the futon and either going back to sleep or just chilling out until we wake up.
3. I am thankful that Gus is almost done with summer school. It will be nice to have both kids home so we can have some real fun. Daddy will take some time off work and there will be at least one, probably two, camping trips in the near future and a trip to a water park - late day, mid-week when it’s the least crowded. Gus and his sister will have a ball. I’ll probably have many gray hairs by the end of the day, but it’s not about me, is it?
What are you thankful for today?
