What Morrisons' are Thankful For

In asking my children what they are thankful for, they came up with a lot of the run of the mill type answers. While it is a great thing that they are thankful for their family members (near and far) and their friends, and are also thankful for having a roof over their heads and food on their plates, I really wanted to know what our younger people are glad to have in their lives today other than the usual. Alexys was very greatful to have a teacher that has been so supportive and helpful with her reading. I thought to myself, "I am also thankful for that!". Her teacher from last year and her teacher this year have turned her into an avid reader! She has flourished with the kindness and the time they have taken to show her how fun reading can be! Addysen is thankful for her new kitty. I too am glad she is here. Addy has kind of taken over Zorra and now says that she is her kitty. She plays doctor with Zorra, and the cat doesn't seem to mind. At least I haven't seen her sprinting down the stairs to get away from Addy! Apryl is thankful for her room. I think she likes the privacy it provides when she is needing some alone time. She also likes to read in her bed each night before going to sleep. Zorra also likes Apryls' room, it is a place where she can sleep without being bothered...too much! I guess with the boys being too little to tell me what they are thankful for I will just venture a guess. Knowing them like I do, I would say they are thankful for their cups when they have milk in them, they love their cats they carry around as well as their blankets, they are also thankful for Dora the Explorer and bath time. Oh, and they are very thankful when their Mother allowes them to run around without a diaper on! That last part is not necessarily something I am thankful for however! I know that there are many things in our world to be thankful for, but I am truly blessed to be able to have such inspiration, good or bad, to write about each day! Our children are the many reasons we do all things we do each and everyday. So, aside from the usual, I am thankful for bedtime!!
