With thanksgiving coming up this month, it's the perfect time to think about what your thankful for. Sit down and pick one thing each day. Today was a bit hard to narrow it down to just one thing, so I started going through my pictures and it hit me.
Today, I am thankful for my daughter Lanie.
With everything going on with Liam over the years, Lanie doesn't get recognized as much as she deserves. She is my first born child (second pregnancy) and the daughter I always wanted. She's funny, smart, caring, loyal, creative and so much more.
Last month she won student of the month in her class. All her teachers and the staff who work with her often tell me how kind and smart she is and how they enjoy having her in their class. She even has two teachers who wanted her for second grade and now one is bummed she didn't get Lanie lol.
Lanie works hard in school, comes home and does her homework, chores and then computer homework since she goes to another class during computer time. She doesn't complain that she doesn't get to play a whole lot during the week. In fact she doesn't complain hardly at all.
When Liam was in NICU after birth, Lanie keep up going. Kept us strong. She made us laugh when we needed it and hugged us when we needed it without us ever saying a word. She's always been very intuitive.
She helps teach her brother Liam and care for him. She understand he needs more attention because of his medical needs and doesn't complain. Lanie is a trooper. She's stronger than any other little girl I have ever met and mature beyond her years.
Lanies favorite color is purple. She loves Shopkins, Ever After High, Monster High and Barbie. She loves to read, ride her scooter and is a happy kid. I am so blessed to be her mom.
