Post-Thanksgiving Thankfulness

The B is well and kicking today! Well, not really kicking but she is moving and grooving. She had a wonderful day yesterday: her appetite improved, she was happy all day, she waved and beamed at me whe I got home after rehearsal. All-in-all, she is feeling better, I think . This morning, after some nighttime party time at 3 a.m. and a brief wake up at 7, she went back to sleep and slept until 10. 10!! Seems like old times. . .I tried to talk her into watching Pretty In Pink; however, we're now watching "Charlie and Lola" after she giggled through "Lazy Town." You can see who wears the pants (or the dress) lately in this house! : )

In reading through the last post, I don't want you, Dear Reader, to feel that I am somehow traumatized by The Soiffure's recent wakefulness. I'm not, really. It hearkens back to "the good old days" when we realized just what partying at midnight was really about. It's just been a while and I'm out of practice. So, in light of the recent Pity Party Post, I thought it would be nice to show a little post-Thanksgiving thankfulness this morning. Here are all the things I'm thankful for regarding The B:

The way she waves at me accross the room when I return from somewhere.
Her smile with her little gappy front teeth.
Her sassy personality.
The way she hugs soooo hard.
Her sparkly blue eyes, especially sparkly when she waves accross the room.
The way she lunges in for a kiss with her lips puckered then manages to sneak her tongue in against my cheek at the last minute.
The way she loves tights and fancy dresses and smiles so big when we call her "princess" or Jack tells her that she is beautiful.
The way she is smart, way smarter than all of us, about what's really important in this world.
Her unconditional love.

I'm sure that doesn't cover even half of it. . .but it's a start! Right now, I think the B is thankful that Lola is a diva, just like her. Actually, she may be taking notes on some things to add to her principessa repetoire.

Much love.
