Thankful Thursday!

I am VERY thankful for this little girl!

I can't say that I am always on top of things, but she just won't let me forget when I need to do some very important things, for example:

• Snack time
• Popsicle time
• play time
• cartoon time
• reading time

and many others that she considers extremely important. But when it comes to things that aren't in her list then it's up to me to remember. I recently bought a big wall calendar so that I can keep up with things because I am very forgetful. Today one of those big things happened. Velani had her endocrinologist appointment. Every three to four months they have to check her A1C, an average of her blood sugars, to see how she's been doing with her glucose and it was at 8.2% and that is GOOD. As long as she stays below 8.5% then we are doing good with her management.

I am very thankful that we have been able to keep her within normal levels. It's not easy and she still doesn't quite get it, but as a mother it is my responsibility to teach her and it's my duty to keep her healthy until she is at an age where she will have to take that responsibility and make good and healthy food choices.
