Today I'm thankful for a good night's sleep last night as was anticipated yesterday! 2 yr old woke up at 5am but managed not to get up til after 6 which feels acceptable, and the main thing is the chunk of unbroken sleep preceeding 5am. I must start being sensible and going to bed earlier again though, but I do like my me time, and it is important too, for sanity, which everyone benefits from!
This morning I did an on-the-spot "Are you thankful for anything right now?" question in the car and 5 yr old immediately replied 'school' which is always encouraging! - especially as we hadn't been talking about it so he wasn't just saying whatever was topical :)
I'm thankful for a fun, extended playtime in the rain and the exuberant singing all the school spontaneously did together in it! For radiators. For the leafy park across the road from school that the kids go to play in most days at lunchtime. For my mum looking after my 2 yr old on Thursday mornings, in such a fun, loving way, and for him feeling so comfortable going off with her. For relationships that transcend differences. For story-reading with my 2 yr old snuggled on my knee this afternoon. For a tidy house. For finally remembering to put the bins out ready for bin day (the first time in about a month! - 'overflowing' isn't even close!). For cheap wholesome easy meals like baked potatoes with cheese and cherry tomatoes. For cosy dressing gowns and my North Face body warmer which I pretty much live in; how did I live without it??! And for the free bag my 5 yr old got with his Cbeebies magazine Christmas present, which is just right for his packed lunch and snack, and he really likes it :)
