The past couple of years I've asked Caleb to tell me what he's thankful for. I write whatever he says and make a list in a journal. We do this over several days time. We make thankful pictures too. This list, though, I keep in the journal I have been writing for him since before his birth. I like to reread what he said in previous years. It reminds me of his interests. Here is his list from last year and below is this year's list:
Thank you, God, for...
