Thankful Thursday

A friend of mine gave me this idea. She was having a rough night with her little girl, and decided to blog 20 things she was thankful for about her little girl! I Have been struggling a bit with Rowan, figuring out how to discipline him, and getting him to STOP being so mean to other kids. I've been feeling pretty down about it. So here's my 20 things.
20 Things I am Thankful For About Rowan
1. His giggles. No matter how fowl of a mood I am, his non-stop giggles, always gives me the giggles.
2. His love call. He does this weird noise when he has or is around something he loves to pieces.
3. That I am one of 3 things he love calls. His blanket, his trains, and his mommy :)
4. His health. I can not IMAGINE what having a sick child would be like.
5. The fact that when he gets a bonk, even a tiny one, he ALWAYS needs me to kiss it better.
6. The fact that he is a snuggler! I love wrapping up in a blanket and just cuddling.
7. His love of train, and that I figured out I can use this love to get him interested in books (which leads to even more cuddling!)
8. The fact that he enjoys having the daycare kids here. Makes me feel less guilty for needing to spend time with other children so much.
9. The fact that he is a boy! We were soooooo darn excited to find out we were expecting a little boy. It was my dream to have one of each!
10. When he says the sentence "why a duck!" Makes me smile, inside out.
11. That he shares my love of swimming!
12. His willingness to help me, with whatever I need! Even if its unfolding laundry because he has brought it to me to put away!
13. his love for his sister! I am blessed that he enjoy the company of his older sister. Makes me feel like I have the best family in the world!
14. That he LOVES to clean up! and is pretty darn good about it too!
15. His dancing! Always good for a giggle! I love to see him laughing and enjoying life!
16. for his love of animals. Since he was a baby, he has always loved animals, and showed compassion and is caring and (mostly) gentle towards them. This is how I know he will be a great person when he grows up, because I can already see how much love he has to give.
17. That he will sleep ANYWHERE in his playpen. Makes traveling MUCH easier!
18. His hugs. And that every hug needs a kiss to go with it!
19. His love of bugs! This means if there are any icky ones in the house, I don't have to touch them! He will take them outside for me! :)
20. That he is MINE! <3

Whenever I start to feel discouraged, I need to remember these 20 things, and the thousand more things I could think of!

Much thanks to my dear friend :)
