Last night was the first time I was away from my little baby for a few hours. And you know what? He was perfectly fine in the hands of my mother-in-law. It was so nice to get a break and spend some alone time with my husband for our anniversary. It left me feeling refreshed and thankful.
- I am thankful for two healthy beautiful boys.
- I am thankful for a wonderful husband who always makes me feel special and is a great father to our boys.
- I am thankful to have my in-laws close by to help out and to be involved in the boys' lives.
- I am thankful for a toddler that is hilarious and makes me smile with his sense of humor and his little dances.
- I am thankful for a toddler who can be as sweet as pie when he flashes those big hazel eyes my way.
- I am thankful for a happy baby who smiles and loves to try to talk to me in his baby talk.
- I am thankful that God allowed me to be a mother, the best and the hardest job all at the same time.
Aye, all that and more. Glad you got some me/ couple time!
