I don't know if Dennis is going to be able to hold out for Christmas! He asks me if it's Christmas yet twice a day at least! He likes to go out at night so he can see Christmas lights, and in fact makes up reasons to leave the house after dark. Tonight he told me "I really love Christmas lights--they are so beautiful!".
He's starting to get into the Thanksgiving spirit finally. He asked me if we could make "hand turkeys" today, so we traced, drew faces on, colored, and cut out our hand prints. Then he said "I meant for us to make hand turkey COOKIES, Mommy; we can't eat these paper ones and we can't put them in the oven." And I remembered us reading (weeks ago) about a recipe idea for turkey handprint sugar cookies. I'm betting there's no way he'll forget about it before Thursday, so I foresee cookie baking in my very near future. Oh, well. Good opportunity to use my new mixer...
Oh, the thankfulness! Today there were so many things! He started with "the food we eat" and as the day progressed would randomly pipe up with "Mommy, you know what else I'm thankful for?" and would tell me things like "the dog and cat we have" and "you, Mommy" (awwwww!) and "Jesus and God, too" and "the cars I play with". He said "I am thankful for lots of things!". Me too, me too. Especially for a child with a thankful heart!
