A thankful little heart

For quite a while now, we've been asking each other--usually at bedtime now--what three things we are thankful for. Abby loves to do this, so she is usually the first person to ask either Ben or me, then she takes her turn, and then the other one takes a turn. She always asks us what Hayden is thankful for, and Ben usually comes up with three things that Hayden could be thankful for.

Well, last night, I decided to ask our 18-month-old what he was thankful for. It went something like this:

"Hayden, can you tell Mommy something you are thankful for?"
"Ummmm.... Chee-os!" (Cheerios, for those who aren't proficient in toddler.)
"Is there something else you are thankful for?"
"Ummmm.... keys!"
"Is there one more thing you are thankful for, buddy?"
"Ummmm.... binky!" And at that moment, he popped the beloved binky in his mouth. :)

Who said a toddler couldn't be thankful?
