In school on Tuesday, Jack's teacher asked them each to say something about Thanksgiving and something for which they are thankful and she wrote it down. Jack told her, "We are having a big turkey for Thanksgiving. It's in the fridge to cool down." On Sunday morning I told him I had to go take the turkey out of the freezer and put it in the fridge. I believe that's why he thinks it is cooling down.

He then told his teacher that he is thankful for Emily. The teacher told me she thought it was so cute that Jack was thankful for his sister. At which point I had to explain - "Oh, no, her name is Casey. Emily is a train from Thomas and Friends and Jack's Nana is going to bring him that train for Thanksgiving so they can play trains while I cook dinner."

Happy Thanksgiving!
