For Thanksgiving, we gathered up our still not feeling so hot boy, and brought him down to still not feeling so hot Grandma. Rob, Brendan, Chelsea and I all slept together in my old room. It was a massive sleepover and Brendan ended up in the full sized futon with us every night. Sometimes Chelsea would try to migrate over too. Then we’d wake up in the morning and I’d spend a couple hours trying to keep Brendan from sneaking into Grandma and Grandpa’s room. He’d try and reason with me, “but I just want to HUG them a liiiiitle bit” and of course I’d relent because I knew that was how Grandma and Grandpa would want it. Then we’d play out in their amazing backyard that was built with a 3 year old boy in mind. We learned that Brendan can hit tiny whiffle balls from an automatic pitching machine – I don’t think Rob has recovered from that shocking twist. He also helped Grandpa fix the fence:
And he spent some time sitting in the same apple tree, on the same branch, where I used to sit and ponder my world.
And then it was Thanksgiving. Grandma let me help out a lot more than usual which was good because I need the practice. I still overcook or undercook potatoes. I still don’t know how to make gravy – and I’ll never figure out Grandma’s elusive perfect pie crust. Other than that, I think I did okay. We sat down for the meal and our son decided to have a three year old moment. Now, to be honest – he doesn’t LOVE to eat (silly boy) and he really doesn’t love to try “new” foods, so I knew it wouldn’t be his favorite – but he was not really letting the rest of us enjoy the meal. So we asked him to wait in our room until he was ready – and thankfully, he got himself together. And then of course, OF COURSE, he sat down and ate every bite on his plate. Cranberries – I’m thankful for you most of all. You were the secret ingredient that made Brendan decide Thanksgiving wasn’t so bad.

We also had to do the annual door measurement – guess what? He’s grown. I wondered why we started measuring at Thanksgiving and then I realized it was probably because that was the very first time he was big enough to prop up against the door frame. We also learned that Mommy was as tall as she is now in 6th grade. I used to be so tall…
Before we left, Brendan had to use the restroom, and wanted to look at the black friday circulars. Who can blame him?
That lemon sitting on the bathtub is not always there – Grandma and Brendan picked it and Brendan informed us that he never wanted to ‘break it or cook with it’. He likes to keep it near no matter what he’s doing.
In the midst of so many things to be concerned with, there is so much to be thankful for as well.
