Thanksgiving

I have to write a quick post for thanksgiving. 

I feel like we have so much to be thankful for!

I'm thankful for the opportunity we've had to move out to Fort Macleod and the great new experience that's been. 

I'm thankful for a roof over our heads (even if our furnace is currently out of service for the time being)

I'm thankful for the gospel and most recently nursery! 

I'm thankful for the family we have so close to us and the help they've always given us. 

And most importantly I'm thankful for my own little family. Matt works so hard for us and is such a great dad. He loves spending time with Cooper and teaching him things around the farm. It makes me so happy to watch them spending time together. Cooper is the light of my life. We're so blessed to have been entrusted to look after his sweet spirit. He's taught us so much in the short time he's been with us! 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Nap Time

For those of you who don't know Cooper, he's a thumb sucker. 

Honestly I think its adorable. 

I know some people might think he's too old but I don't think he's hit that point yet. 

Anyways today at nap time he only slept for 20 minutes. 

Usually he goes to bed around 9 PM and gets up around 10 AM. 

Last night Matt had hockey and we watched for a bit so he didn't go to bed until 10:30 and for some reason woke up at 8.

So I was a little disappointed that his nap didn't last longer. 

I decided to try to have him lay down with me for a bit even though he hasn't slept with us since he was a few months old.

I would lay there with my eyes closed and just peek at him once in a while to see if he was settling down. 

He'd lay there and suck his thumb for a while but as soon as he saw me looking at him he'd get restless again so I decided to just keep my eyes closed. 

All of a sudden I felt something wet touching my lips. 

I opened my eyes to see Cooper sharing his thumb with me! 

I love how sweet that little boy is!!

He knew sucking his thumb helped him fall asleep so he was trying to share. 

Minus the slobber it was one of the sweetest things he's ever done. 

What a doll!
