November 3

I am grateful for the following things:

1. Colors. We colored pictures today--I drew a bus and colored it and then the Friendly Hero colored over it. We did a bus, a garbage truck and a train. His favorite things right now.

2. The Bug Hero. He came home and started helping out--he just did his "normal" things, but it made a huge difference in my frazzled state today.

3. Growing Peaceful Hero. We went to the doctor's today for his two week visit, and I was pleased to find out that he is 8 lbs, 14 oz. I am really proud of how well he eats and how well he is growing. He's also 21 inches long and so he doesn't fit into Newborn clothes anymore...he wore a total of three outfits before we started putting him in 0-3 month clothes.

4. Tylenol. The Friendly Hero got his flu shot this morning and I was grateful we had dosed him up on tylenol before hand. He didn't like seeing the needle get ready--nor the stick, but as soon as the nurse took away the shot, he was completely happy and back to being friendly.

5. Heat. It was cold this morning and all afternoon it just looked yucky outside. I love having a heater and a warm house.
