Day 119...Thankful for One on One Time

There is just something special about having that one on one time with your children.  Tonight it was my little man and I hanging out at home.  Josh took Hadley out for a daddy/daughter date and I was excited to just have some time with Landry.  Of course my idea of hanging out would be him snuggling under a blanket with me on the couch while I read him books or watching a Christmas movie, but as any normal 3 yr. old he wanted to run around, chase the dog, anything but snuggling with me.  I am thankful for my little boy and that he is healthy to be able to run around and chase the dog.  I am thankful for his deep belly laughs that appear out of nowhere while we are playing.  I am thankful that he loves elephants right now and his expressions when he watches them on TV.   I am thankful for these precious times even though in the moment sometimes I feel like I may pull my hair out because he refuses to try to pee before bed and will just stand there and laugh.  I am thankful for his sweet prayer before bed and that he will only kneel down, bow his head, and fold his hands before he will pray.  I am thankful for this because he is developing his own way of doing things, loves his routine, and he's shaping into a young man.  I am so thankful for my son, thankful for these nights, thankful for his kissable cheeks, and his big smile.  God is good!
