Yesterday, I was grateful for spending the afternoon building play doh sculptures with Z. We made a stegosaurus, a penguin, peas in a pod, a rose, and lots of shapes! Z had fun making me little tiny twisty shapes! Then we played with pieces of construction paper and gluing them to make a picture. We had a lot of fun!
Today, we had a great time cuddled up and watching Wall-e during a summer storm. I love that she asks to cuddle with me more often. She gave me unsolicited kisses even. I love slow days when we can just relax.
I'm also grateful for tonight's dinner! Baked potato covered in pulled pork with shredded cheddar and barbecue sauce. Yes it's a but shallow, but damn it was delicious!
I'm also eternally grateful for my husband. He is great with the bedtime routine and really great with story time! Z is soaking up as much time with him as she can when he is outside of work.
in all, I've had a good week so far and quite a bit to be thankful for.

A New Perspective
I was told the other day that I've been too negative lately. I've been very crabby. So I need to work on getting more of a positive perspective. I need to learn to be more grateful for the little things. I need to slow down and enjoy the days as they happen. I saw this idea on "My Cat From Hell" called a "purr-spective" box and I really like the idea of trying to write down what I am grateful for each day. So here we go:
Today, we had some unexpected family visitors and went out to eat. It was wonderful to spend some time with family and to catch up and have a great meal! But out of all of the fun family stuff we did today, I think the best moments were by far the ones spent with Z. She asked to cuddle with me when we got home from dinner. We laid on the couch watching an animated movie for a good 20 minutes (which in toddler time is for-EVER!) And she asked me to draw a happy face for her. I drew one that sort of looked like a "potabo" and she declared it "impressive" and put it in her stack of impressive drawing papers which are to never be drawn on again.
As frustrating as she can be sometimes (she tried to leave my phone at the restaurant under the table after she got bored of Candy Crush,) she is the greatest achievement of my life! I love her so much!
