As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I've felt the need to do some "I'm grateful for..." posts. There are so many things in my life to be grateful for and I'm going to try to pay tribute to these things, both big and small!
Today... I'm grateful for toy bins. Yes.. it's simple but true. Toy bins bring happiness to my life, because they bring happiness to Mylie's. And I had the genius idea the other day... let Mylie have the whole thing! (I'm sure it didn't take any of you this long to have that idea!) Well... to be honest... it's not very big but there are lots of little toys that occupy her for a long time!! She goes from toy to toy, eating them, hugging them, smiling at them, and loving them...like it's the first time she's ever seen them! It's great!! It gives me the opportunity to get some things done, whether it's dishes, work, laundry, or just about any of my "tasks". Mylie is quite the needy little thing, so anything to distract her from noticing that I'm not RIGHT next to her is great... at least for a little while. Don't get me wrong... I love playing with Mylie and rolling around on the ground together, but if I did that ALL day, my world would fall apart! It's pretty fun just to sit and watch her enjoy this experience...yay for Mylie and toy bins!
PS-- It's really sad when you don't notice your child has a dirty face until you take pictures! Poor orphan child of mine!! :)

Hi becca! We did get the baby thing and the cookies were so delicious and so cutely wrapped too! They were gone about 15 minutes after we got home!! Thanks a million! (Matt and I both thought the other had told you! Sorry about that!!)
Bec Mylie is so cute with her toys!! I hope it will be a new found thing for a long time ~ and her face is cute no matter if it's dirty or clean.... :)
How fun!!! She looks so cute playing with each of her toys :) It is always fun to overwhelm them with all the toys at once :). And she looks so happy and content :) I just want to squeeze her.... maybe she'll let me next time I see her :).
