So, here it is. Sadly it shows me that I need to work on them some. It sure does seem like its all about them..

I'll take a stab at Bows..

I am thankful for..
being the baby
eating any time I want, which is all the time
all these toys that I can throw all over
sneaking into the kids rooms while they are gone and throwing THEIR toys all over
clean diapers
all the dirt in the house plants
daddy's shoes to hide toys in
y'all turning your backs so I can climb on stuff
when people drop food on the floor, and when I find food I dropped on the floor
when someone doesnt lock the dishwasher and I can climb in it.
when the dishes still have food on them after I have climbed in the dishwasher
when someone leaves the door open enough for me to get out
when someone leaves the bathroom door open and I can get in the tub or play in the toilet
when TV shows go off and the commercials come on so I can dance
when mom forgets that its cold outside and I need shoes on
when I can find an unattended phone to play with
when I can find an unattended remote that works to play with
when mom or dad leave their drink unattended. I love Dr Pepper and Mt Dew.
when mom lets me take a bath
that the cat loves me and lets me body slam her and pull on her and bite her
and when I get a nice long nap
