I am thankful for cousins who assist with demonstrating birthday toys because the recipient is far too busy with the box.

I am thankful for help with the laundry. Emmett likes to whip all the clothes out of the washer onto the floor, and is very proud of himself for helping. When I ask him to do the laundry, he goes in to wait at the machines.
This afternoon, I took diapers out of the dryer (with his help, of course), and brought the basket of clean diapers out to the living room. I asked Emmett if he was going to help me fold the laundry. I guess all he heard was the word laundry, because he came over to the basket, grabbed a diaper insert and carried it to the washing machine.
I am thankful for the couple of days Emmett got to spend helping Nana recover from her neck surgery, and I am thankful to see the slow and steady improvements in her each day.
I am thankful for the new windowed baby gate at Nana & Poppy's house, which not only provides peek-a-boo entertainment, but also stops Emmett from succeeding at his endless attempts to dive down the stairs.
Emmett has his own room at Nana & Poppy's house, with a crib and toys. It used to be Uncle Greg's room, though, and I am thankful for the bookshelf in there, still piled with Greg's treasures, which allows us to help Emmett get to know his uncle.
I am thankful for this mess, the evidence of an afternoon filled with playtime and laughter.
We enjoyed our annual Pre-Thanksgiving Feast with friends today. It was good company, good food and worth every second of the hard work. Especially since Mike does most of the cooking!
Really, though, it was fantastic and this has become one of my most favorite annual holiday traditions. We always spend Thanksgiving with family, and this tradition allows us special time to celebrate with friends, too.
This was Emmett's first year of participating in this tradition; he also had the first of three birthday cakes scheduled for the next couple of weeks, and opened his first round of gifts.
I am starting this week's theme of Giving Thanks early. Today, I am thankful for the Pre-Thanksgiving Feast and, especially, for these friends:
