There is nothing in this world I'm more thankful for than my little girl. That's the obvious when thinking about Thanksgiving and what I'm grateful for this year. After a little more thought, here are the other related things I'm giving thanks for in 2011.
1) Family...I'm grateful for the family we have close and the family that is a couple of hours away and how invested they all are in Collins' life. She will be a better person because she has their love and influence.
2) The amount of time I've gotten to spend with Collins this year.
3) Watching Collins' personality emerge- we're already seeing lots of curiosity, determination and happiness.
4) Parenting with a person who is smarter and more rational than I am. This comes in handy in the moments when you are emotional, scared or have no clue what you're doing.
5) A new experience. Being pregnant and having a baby has to be one of the strangest, scariest, most thrilling experiences a person can have. I'm glad I got to go through it.
Finally, I'm thankful that my favorite meal of the year is almost here!
