Thanksgiving Thursday


I love that Thursdays are set aside to play along with Nicole at What a trip :

After what seemed to be a weekend filled with sweet and sorrow and a busy two days at work, off course I have lots to be thankful for:

  1. Firstly, my dear husband who just continues to amaze me with his big heart and love every day.

  2. That Little man L survived his fall out of his crib without serious injury this morning. I could not believe how quickly it happened. I was busy changing Little man C's nappy, L chucked his sippy cup out of the cot and immediately followed suit head first, crashing to the carpet with his forehead. Huston, we have a problem! (and a carpet burn on the forehead)

  3. For our dear nanny Lucy who had an immediate solution – remove the base out of the cot, place the mattress on the carpet inside the cot (we have sledge cots – they come down to the ground like a box). Little man L jail – no way his is climbing over that!

  4. For everybody's prayers for our friend Stefaan. No new news at present apart that he is handling the pain better.

  5. For Skype – this enabled me to talk to S's sister in London last night face to face and to maybe just help calm her down and patch up the family.

  6. For God' plan in bringing this family closer together – his two sisters have both talked to him – the first time in a year. May this reunion be blessed.

  7. For heaps of friends offering support and love to them.

  8. For the absolutely stunning weather we are having – bright warm sunny days, cool and comfortable nights

  9. For Baby Einstein – enabelling me to actually cook dinner most evenings – even if it only gives me 15 minutes it is worth it.

  10. For my little I-pod – I have it loaded with classics and it calms my mood any time I need some sanity.

    My prayers are still with Stefaan.

    I'm so glad L wasn't hurt! Sounds like a great solution, though!!

  7. We did the exact same things with our cribs, took out the part that holds the crib off the floor! I did recently re-install that piece as it was no longer effective at keeping the kids from climbing out and also made morning sheet changes a lot more difficult.

    RE: your comment on my blog- I give the kids choices for foods because I'm a moron lol. Usually they're easy to please- today it was: Do you want scrambled eggs? No. Do you want cinnamon toast? No. Do you want strawberries? No. Then they started- "Waffles? We are out. Pizza? Not for breakfast. Muffins? by that point I was happy we even had a box of muffin mix in the house lol

    I just now made up pizza for lunch- and I wonder why I have picky eaters...
