What I'm grateful for...

Taylor has little "family projects" that he brings home from school that we make at home and he takes back to school. That day at school the kids all share their projects and they are displayed in the classroom. They have had one of these each month. Taylor loves to make his projects and it's been fun to see the new thing that he is learning from school. For November's project, the kids were each given a giant construction paper turkey feather. They were supposed to decorate the feather with things that they are thankful for. It was really interesting trying to explain exactly what thankful means to a 3 year old. I tried different approaches for a couple of days and Taylor just looked at me like I was nuts. Finally, I asked Taylor what he was going to tell Heavenly Father thank you for when he said his prayers that night. He thought for about 2 seconds and then answered, "I want to thank Heavenly Father for the church and orange." I told him that we need to think of a couple more things to be thankful for, but that was a great start. His feather turned out great. I'll have to take a picture of him with it when he gets to bring it home.
