My daughter brought home a sheet from nursery school yesterday that had what each child in the school was thankful for. Kids had the mom's and dad's and brother and sisters as some of the things which they are thankful for, and Charley did too, but.......
Let me just share the list from my three year old:
I AM THANKFUL FOR MOM AND DAD, MY DOG, BRODY, MY DOLL, SAMMY, CHICKEN NUGGETS, HOTDOGS WITH KETCHUP, AND GREEN GRASS.
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family and good health and reflect about what is important. Although, Hotdogs with Ketchup is not high on many of our lists, Hotdogs with Ketchup has made an impact on my child, at somepoint. Maybe for her, it is time spent together around the pool in the middle of a hot summer night or a birthday party with balloons, friends and Barney or hugs and kisses or friends and fireworks or just a simple trip to Sheetz (yes, I've taught her to use that ordering machine at the food counter--but only one...or twice) to order a 'dog' with her father.
Hotdogs with Ketchup, yeah, I can accept that. Because sometimes even the smallest things are cause for celebration and reflection. Have a happy, safe, restful and reflective Thanksgiving.
