Friends

1. Friendly Hero got to play with some friends today. He basically played with friends all day long. I am glad that he has little kids his age and others who are not his age that he gets to interact with. I'm starting to tutor a new family this week and Friendly Hero loved being there. He loved the kids he could play with--the youngest in that family is 7. He was in love with their house, their food, and their toys. I was grateful to over hear some comments (He thinks a hamster is a master....he's so silly.) I am grateful he makes friends wherever he goes.

2. I am grateful for my friends. I had a rougher morning with the Friendly Hero. He wanted me to work on his big blanket. (I'm working on a twin sized quilt) and I was trying to use the rotary cutter, and he would stay back, and then sneak up and then race back away when I reminded him that he couldn't be close while Mommy was cutting. (We didn't really make excellent progress, just managed to annoy both of us.) Every time I tried to put it away, he would get really upset. I am grateful for my friends, because as I shared the story with my friend while Friendly Hero played, we both laughed and I was able to enjoy this little moment. (Once it was past.)

3. I am grateful for this movie. I love the animation and the music. We watch it a lot. I am also grateful for the Book of Mormon. I really like that book.

4. I am grateful for to-do lists. They motivate me and help me accomplish all I need to do that day. (Some days they are short, and other days they are long. But usually everything on the list gets crossed off.)
