Thankful
This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada, and I am feeling especially thankful. I've been blessed beyond measure, especially in the past few months. We've gotten a new (FABULOUS) house, I'm getting so many opportunities in regards to my lactation consultant practice, Hubbyman and I are doing great, and Princess and Tobes are both growing up to be such fantastic people. Tobes is really starting to become his own little person, with his own likes and dislikes. I forgot about this stage from Princess. And Princess is imaginative, and I can barely keep up with her on the best of days... ;) I could go on and on about what I'm thankful for. Between family, friends, and my life in general, I have a long list!
But today I decided to switch it up a bit, and get a guest blogger in - my very first one! She is someone I am incredibly thankful for, and I wouldn't be who I am or where I am without her. Instead of me list off how thankful I am, I thought she'd have a really unique view on this weekend, and that we'd both have fun with this. She's an expert with words, though not as fabulous with the computer, so I'm here to help her along. Without further ado, I present my guest blogger, Princess.
P: "Hi!" *giggle*
Me: "Did you want to tell the people on my blog a bit about you?"
P: "No thanks!" *to be fair, I am interrupting her coloring with this interview...*
Me: "What about telling them how old you are, or what you like doing?"
P: "No thanks! You can tell them!" *she looks up at me, smiling*
**Princess is 4. She loves to color, dance, and "read". She also informed me the other day that she no longer loves princesses, but she does still like princess movies, books, dresses, and tiaras.**
Me: "So Princess, this weekend is Thanksgiving."
P: "I know, I know, I know!"
Me: "Do you remember what Thanksgiving is about?"
P: "You thank people for all the stuff you have"
Me: "Well you don't have to just thank people for gifts, you can thank God for all that He's given you, and just be grateful for all the blessings we have. Do you know a blessing is?"
P: "What?"
Me: "It's like a gift, but you can't always see it. Like your family, or your friends. So what are you thankful for?"
P: "I'm thankful for... um... 1 minute!" *puts down her crayon* "I'm thankful for my princess cash register, and my baby brother Tobes, and for you and for Daddy!"
Me: "What else are you thankful for?"
P: "I'm thankful for all of my friends!! And our new house!! AND MY PINK ROOM!!" *at this point, Princess is dancing around my kitchen*
Me: That's a good list!
P: "I'm thankful for dance, but I need new shoes. Oh! Once you buy me new shoes, I can be thankful for that!"
Me: "Yes, you can."
P: "Mommy, I love you... Can I color now?"

I guess that ends the interview ;)
