As parents, we want our children to have happy, wondrous childhood memories. But sometimes we are so focused on creating the BIG moments that we often overlook the magic in the moments in between. This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for all those little things – for those little moments – the unplanned experiences that make our lives extraordinarily better.
We are thankful for the neighborhood block party that turned into a family backyard campout with smores and spooky stories. We are thankful for the sleepover that turned into the biggest living room blanket fort you and your little have ever constructed. We are thankful for the messy kitchen after your kiddo turned the mixer on high during a failed attempt at mastering the perfect birthday cake. We are thankful in watching the bond – a friendship – between siblings grow stronger as play dates were canceled and schools transitioned to virtual learning. We are thankful for all those unexpected little moments.
So, for this Thanksgiving – What are you thankful for?
