thankful challenge, day 10...

today i am thankful...

1.  for nap time!  remi didn't really sleep great last night.  combine that with my hormonal issues right now (pregnancy) and i think i only got 3 hours of sleep.  i'm exhausted!  remi's been cranky most of the day and i tried several times to get him to take a nap.  i figure it'll probably take a week or two to get him back into the swing of things after being gone for so long.  while i was working on organizing the pantry, i had put remi in his high chair to eat a snack and i looked over and he had fallen asleep.  yahoo!  i immediately ran over to the couch, threw a blanket over myself and slept 20 minutes until remi woke up.  i sooo needed that nap!  :)

2.  for being able to spend time with my baby.  he's been cranky most of the day but we did have some great moments.  my favorite was smelling all the spices i use to cook with.  everytime i open the spice cupboard remi gets really excited to smell what i'm going to use.  he starts energetically sniffing while pointing over and over to the cupboard in a hint to get those spices out for him to smell.  i love our game!  today we smelled cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, garlic and vanilla.  we made almond milk, dinner in a pumpkin and pumpkin pie. 

3.  for christmas music.  ahhh, the wonderful sounds of christmas!  i have to admit that i really don't go for all the new christmas songs that pop stars are constantly producing.  they just don't really have the right feel to them.  the classics are what i absolutely love and i listened to them today all day long.  i used to start listening to christmas music in september but quickly realized that i got burnt out before christmas ever rolled around.  this year i waited until this week to start listening and i am so charged up and excited about it.  they immediately bring a christmas feeling to my house.  i love it!
