The Return of Thursday Thankfulness!

I’ve been very remiss about my updates since the holidays.  Life has been keeping me quite busy, but I thought it time to reinstate my favorite post topic: Thursday Thankfulness.  Here’s my list for this week:

• I am thankful that the paint color Gus picked out for his room came out so great!  I was nervous that it would make the room too dark, but it’s his room and he should have a say in how it looks.  Also, it seems that the dark color is soothing on his senses.  He’s actually been sleeping a little later since we finished painting.  MM’s room came out quite nice as well, and she’s pleased with that it’s “so girly.

• I am thankful for our good friends J and J who were an enormous help last Saturday with the painting project.  It would have been A much bigger strain without them, and probably would not have been finished yet.  Thanks, guys!
• I am thankful that Gus is enjoying his bowling league.  He’s been feeling a little out of sorts because he’s starting to realize that he’s the older brother, but his sister gets more freedom.  So the fact that he gets to stay out a little late – past bedtime – has given him an esteem boost.  I notice he’s trying to be more independent, like he wants to prove that he can handle more responsibility.  He’s not ready for mainstream activities on his own just yet, but it’s good to see him working toward it.

What are you thankful for this week?  Have a great one!
