thanks

After we say prayers at bedtime, we think of something to thank God for.

Last night, Gabe thanked God for Nick standing on the train table and having to stand in the corner for it (bc he wouldn't get off when I asked him.....his developing independence and strong will is another post all in itself).

Tonight, he thanked God for Nick screaming really loud and getting in "trouble" for it (note: i silently asked God that he's not entering the terrible two's....again, another post).

So we had to rethink what we were thankful for. That maybe we could think of something good about our day instead of something Nick did wrong.

"I'm thankful for snowmachines Mom!"
