I am thankful for: being at home

(Post for Friday)

On Thursday (when the cleaners were there. See previous post) I got a phone call from our toddler's day care that she wasn't feeling well and was probably running a temperature, so I went to get her and she slept most of the day. On Friday she still needed to stay home but was a bit more active. 

I have been on vacation (winter break) from teaching so I've spent the week at home studying and working on papers for university and so I was able to stay home with her and I am very thankful for that. I don't remember being 2, but I do remember being older and sick and having my mother or grandfather or someone loved being home with me and I believe it makes you feel better. Of course since our daughter is only a toddler either hubby or myself would have to be with her, but I'm just thankful that I was able to provide that comfort to her that I remember getting when I was small. 

She is much better today and had a big day going to a concert and then going shopping, which is nice because she really needed to get out of the house, but I'm glad I was with her when she was sick. That's what parents are for and I wouldn't swap that responsibility for the world.
