A Special Thanksgiving Gift

Since this is the time of year when we give thanks to the people we love, I thought it would be nice to give all the important caregivers in my life a special gift. I wanted them to know how thankful I am that they choose to spend their free time taking care of me. 

I had to plan my gift-giving carefully (and now that I'm 10 months old, I am REALLY good at planing things).  After careful thought, I decided I would deliver the gift to each person in person. ....This took me a little over a week because I don't get to see my babysitters every single day.

I knew my gift had to be special. It had to be memorable.

Don't know if you know this but, wrapping paper is soooo not original. I wrapped my gifts with laughs, coughs and kisses.

The first person to receive my special Thanksgiving gift was Abuela. Then, I delivered my gift to Great Grandma Julie & Great Grandpa Izzy.....next up was Mom & Dad (their gift was EXTRA special), and lastly was Avi and Grandma Karen. But for some odd reason, they were not as happy to receive my gift as I was giving it.  Weird, right?

 
 I have to admit, something went terribly wrong with my gift giving.

Okay, so....how is a 10 month old supposed to know that a nasty stomach virus (including vomiting, fever, diarrhea, nausea, chills, & lasting 2 days) wouldn't be enjoyed by all adults? Woops!

From the bottom of my heart, I send all of you my sincerest apologies. Next year I will think of an even better way to show you how thankful I am.


And for all the people that can't be with me this Thanksgiving, I send you a germ-filled kiss from California.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
