Monday's are "Thankful Days"

Ok- I do not have a picture of this, in the craziness of life, I didn't get one snapped. But, Mikayla, our Mikayla, our tender-hearted, introspective girl has now deemed Monday's as "Thankful Days." If you will recall she has deemed Thursdays as "Love Note Day." Last night she wanted a cup of hot cocoa and she said she was going to snuggle up on the couch and write a list of things she was thankful for. She did this for quite awhile, and then afterwards she told me that she also wrote a prayer list and prayed. I couldn't help sneak a peek at her lists this morning while she was at school. Here are some things she is thankful for:

pillows, beds, chili, lamps, dogs, cats, turkeys, couches, paper, bread, ribbons, headbands, hair, noses, Miss Early (her teacher) teeth, limos :), doors, spray (?), chickens, clocks, plus about 20 more. Isn't she funny?

Here is her prayer list:

Davis's brother (her classmate Davis just had a baby brother), Thanksgiving, Decatur (we are going to Decatur for T-giving), Daisy (dog) and Leighton (her brand new baby cousin she will meet for the first time in Decatur).

I thank God every day for my sweet Mikayla. She is sweet, sensitive (although this causes problems) and witty. Yesterday, she said she was going to do something at home that her teacher joked about them doing and I said, "well, you can do that, but how is your teacher going to know you did that?" She said, "Mom, I'll tell her! Think critically mom!" A saying her teacher must say to tell her students to think through the situation and figure it out! It was funny. I lost a piece of paper the other day and was hunting for it and she said, "mom, you're irresponsible!" I must say my little 7 year old is mighty responsible.

I deem Tuesdays as "brag on Mikayla" day. I will deem the other days of the week to brag on my other children.
