Thankful Thursday

I know it is Wednesday night, but Thursday is coming in a few short hours. I have thought about a lot of things the last few months since I have had a bit more quiet time. I picked up a new devotion book that is short, but very meaningful. God has blessed me and I have many reasons to give thanks each day.

-Erik and I went to my parent's house in North Carolina and enjoyed having the weekend together. The children stayed with their grandparents and got to go to my nephews first birthday.
-Ellie Grace had two full weeks of being on green at school. Her teacher uses green, yellow, and red for the behavior chart. We have had more than enough days of yellow and red for talking. I love her outgoing personality but she does need to learn that sometimes it is time to be quiet and do your work.
-Erik and I met with Niklas' teacher for a short conference. I wished we had done it sooner because she is seeing improvement in many areas. She and a few of our therapists are concerned about his tendancy to be distracted very easily. We are going to meet with the developmental pediatrician soon to talk about this. Overall, it made me feel much more confident that he is learning. Now, we just need to get him excited about learning his letters...
-Ellie Grace and I are in a Daisy troop. I was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout so I am excited that we are able to do participate together in this activiity. We enjoyed our first day trip to the Rock Ranch last Saturday with some of the girls and their moms. This will give us a chance to strengthen our mother-daughter bond.
-God has blessed me with a wonderful husband who has supported me through all of my ups and downs. He is so caring and patient with me. He is a great father and a wonderful husband.
