Give Thanks
Thursday, November 24, 2011 by Jeannie Fleming-Gifford
Happy Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday of the year.
Really, what's not to love? It's about family, great food, and the reminder to be thankful.
When it comes to your child developing, what are you most thankful for?
Here are a few thoughts to get you started...Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for...
The moment I found out I was expecting. (SURPRISE!)
The first time I heard your heart beat, and better yet, felt the flutter of your feet and hands kick inside me.
Your cry.
Your first giggle.
When you reach for me and the way your fingers hold on to mine.
And when you learned to call my name (even if you said Daddy's name first
).
The day you toddled across the floor into my arms.
The day after you got sick and I saw you were feeling better and knew you would soon be back to yourself.
The way parenthood has changed me.
Happy Thanksgiving, indeed.
