Giving some thanks.


This week's theme at preschool is Thanksgiving!  Hence the awesomeness that is my feather headdress.  If I hadn't been leading snack, you could have seen my paper bag vest.  It was pretty sweet.  


And how do you like the Britney Spears mic?  We have a soundfield in the room, along with an FM system that the kids' hearing aids sync to so that they can hear us better.  If you care..

So yeah, back to Thanksgiving. One of our language centers was making a collage of things that we are thankful for (for the kids, it was mainly toys).  In that spirit, here are some things I'm giving thanks for this year:

1. Getting to see my family.  It's been a while since we've had some face time!  Although I did teach mom how to video skype yesterday.

2. This might be surprising, considering my bitching and moaning, but I am so thankful to be able to go to grad school - and spend time with these sweet kids at Hearts for Hearing!

3. My friends.  They're pretty rad, and I'm anxious to see some of the far away ones at Christmastime.

4. A mom who not only researches veggie main dish options for T-day, but even practices them before hand.  Amazing, no?

5. Books. They stir me in a way not much else can. And eventually, I'll actually have time to read them (in 2010).

And for you?  A few things you're thankful for this year?

I am thankful for your sweet headdress. =) Glad you're having fun with the kiddos. There is nothing like a little one to stir one's heart. In all honesty, I am thankful for my family and friends.
