Giving Thanks

On Thursday, I will finally be able to enjoy my first REAL Thanksgiving feast. Since last Thanksgiving, I have acquired 14 new teeth, two of which are my newly developed canines, or turkey flesh rippers as I call them. Mom thinks that's a bit much, but that's what your canines are for, right? I'm so thankful for my beautiful pearly whites and for the delectable food they allow me to enjoy.

I am also thankful for so many other things. Here's my top ten:

1. Outside- quite possibly my favorite place to be. First thing in the morning and even late at night, I'm asking mom if I can go "outside." She rarely obliges when it's dark outside, but during the day, I love to enjoy God's creation. This leads me to number two...


2. Sticks- a.k.a. "free toys." Mom rarely buys me new toys, so I have to find my own... sticks are fairly good substitutes.


3. Grandparents- need I say more?


4. Macaroni and cheese- or any cheese product for that matter; I don't discriminate.


5. Shoes- I love shoes... my shoes, mom's shoes, dad's shoes... it doesn't matter... I just love 'em!


6. Ms. Eva and my dare care buddies- my home away from home... a place where my angelic alter-ego takes over. Whenever I'm with mom, the devil in me comes out.


7. My furry friends Mr. Bear, Mr. Moose, Miss Kitty, and Simba- I didn't name them. The "Creative Genius," a.k.a. "Mom" came up with those descriptive titles.


8. Running!- the faster I get, the slower and older mom and dad get. It just proves that God really does have a sense of humor.


9. Maya- unrequited love... I will never understand why cats don't return the love of toddlers. And finally,


10. Loving parents- I guess the world really is a better place with me in it.

As you celebrate this Thanksgiving, please remember to count your blessings and thank God for all the wonderful things he has given you (especially your teeth, now go eat some turkey)!

Love,

Weston
