A two-year-old's thankful list


We all know that two-year-old logic doesn't always make sense. So when I decided to ask my two-year-old son want he was thankful for, I expected some crazy answers. He actually gave me answers that make sense, mostly.

What my two-year-old is thankful for
1. I am thankful for...faithful. (I am convinced he doesn't know what it means, even though he uses it frequently. Problem is, I don't know how to explain it to him.)
2. ‎I am thankful for Daddy.
3. ‎I am thankful for Mommy.
4. ‎I am thankful cereal. (Guess what he was eating when I asked the question.)
5. ‎I am thankful for Sister.

His list also included multiple variations of being thankful for Mommy and Daddy, including their real names.

A week or so later, I asked him the question again. Once I again, I got Mommy, Daddy and Sister, along with variations that included their real names. He also added the following:

6. I am thankful for Grandma and Grandpa.
7. I am thankful for S….. and C….. (a friend's two children).

After he was done, he asked, “What are you thankful for?”

I love this child. I am thankful for him.
