First off, Halloween was amazing! B had such an amazing time and I'll write about that sometime this week. I want to dedicate this month to giving thanks for what I do have. There are a lot of things that I don't have, people I wish were in my life and I could go on and on about it, BUT I want to turn my heart into one that gives thanks. I think that if you make an effort to look for the good, it changes your perspective and I could definitely use a shake up.
November 1st, I am thankful for my son's words. Oh I had some and then they were taken from me. I waited so long for him to express himself and I have finally gotten them! To hear his version of "i love you", I you, Mama is the most precious words. I get choked up thinking about when I would cry myself to sleep asking God to hear those words again. I didn't know if they would come back or when.
Yes, I do have a hard time listening to parents complain that their kids ask "why" way too much or have way too much of an opinion on everything and I just think to myself "you have no idea how amazing that is. How "normal" it is and how much I long for it" So when I am about to tell B that he is talking too much, I catch myself and laugh. I am so grateful for those words that are starting to come off the tongue like they never left. I know it will be hard the closer it gets to Thanksgiving to name the things I am so thankful for in my life but I think I really need it. The year is almost done and the biggest of blessings are coming!
