Gratitude (with special focus on C)

Earlier I started to write a gratitude post, since I was feeling a little stressed and a lot blah, to try to change my focus and snap myself out of my doldrums.

The girls were still asleep, so it was just me and C hanging out in a quite house together.

My list started looking like a gratitude for C list, since he was the main source of joy nearby. I decided not to fight the flow.

1)Dish cloths that can be easily transformed into capes. Thus is reborn C the flying super hero (with the ability to wing block). On a related note, pretzels that can double as weapons for said super hero and his trusty sidekick Mommy ;-). (Super tiger got added to the game with the strategic application of a handkerchief.)

2)C becoming way more verbal than previously. Sometimes he pulls me aside and says, "Mommy, we need to talk."

3)A quiet morning with the girls asleep, so C and I get to relax and hang out together.

4)C making sure to carry my coffee for me into whichever room we moved to.

5)Cuddling my sweet little three year old while we watch Qubo together (and smelling his hair).

6)Remembering to appreciate the time I have with my kids, as they are little for such a short time.
