Thanks for sharing those. What a wonderful exercise in thankfulness. Your parenting skills make me feel rather inadequate… ah, but you did turn out fine, despite my shortcomings.
Very precious. I love this idea. I think that even though it is after Thanksgiving I am going to start this for the month of December. I absolutely love Josiah’s list! It made me laugh! 🙂
