A few days ago, I mentioned to Todd (half joking and half not) that I really wanted a pet hedgehog. I mean, seriously, these things are cute. I just pictured Phoebe in a gnome hat, our pet hedgehog, and our small urban home magically turning into an enchanted forest castle. It could happen, right? But anyways, Todd and I were talking about hedgehogs and the very small possibility that I could get one. Finn must have overheard me, because last night night before bed he said "Mom, I heard you wanted a hedgehog and so I made you this"

Seriously, how sweet is that? I am so lucky to have such a sweet, thoughtful (and talented) 6 year old. Plus this morning, after Phoebe woke up, she ran up to Todd and said "Daddy, I love my mommy!". That may not seem like anything crazy, but for 2-plus months, Phoebe has been on a daddy kick, and all she ever really says to me is that she wants her daddy and that I should go to work. So hearing those words out of her mouth almost brought tears to my eyes.
What (or who) are you thankful for today?
that is so super sweet, both stories.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, sweet post. You have such a lovely family - truly something to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the best kind of hedge hog because it was made with love and you don't have to feed it :) You have a sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little hedgehog. :-) We used to "foster" hedgehogs during the winter when I was growing up. We'd find these abandoned little babies in our yard and overwinter them in our basement. They truly are adorable, but sadly they also smell. :-( As much as I love them, I would not want one as a pet.
