Thursday Thankfulness
Amazing how I’ve been up since 4:30, got up at 5 to make this post, and it’s almost 6 and I’m just starting. I blame my new toy, Twitter. Anyway, on to thankfulness:
I am thankful that Gus got dressed this morning without me having to ask more than three times. No fuss, no drama - that’s the way I like to start the day! Of course, now he’s pretending to be a rock star, Reggie Rockout, complete with green shades, blue striped hat, my clogs and acoustic guitar (he’s in disguise). His first song will be entitled Rock it Out, and the first album will be The Best Rock Tunes Ever! I may have to get some t-shirts and hats printed. Is it possible I can get him out of his disguise before school time? Can I at least get my shoes back?
I am thankful that my kids love music so much. Even if one of them doesn’t have the most melodic voice in the world, she makes up for it with enthusiasm and incredible creativity. Some of MM’s lyrics are pretty cool! So at any given time, one of them is always bursting into song as long as they think no one is paying attention. Yesterday, Gus’s song was What a Day for a Daydream. There’s a voice and acting school somewhere nearby, I think. If things pick up economically, I may just sign these guys up.
Finally, I am thankful that I have an extremely patient husband because I think the vegetarian experiment is really wearing on him. I won’t even discuss last night’s meal right now except to say that I did cave in and we had salmon. It was maybe a step above the veggie meat(less) loaf.
Oh, and one of the reasons I joined Twitter was to take part in Autism Twitter Day on Tuesday, December 16th organized by Bonnie Sayer of Autism Family Adventures . So if you’re on Twitter and connected to the autism community in some way, check it out! And thank you, Bonnie, for such a great idea!!
Comment with your gratitude, please!
