Day 8 of giving thanks...

Today I am thankful for the job I have as a developmental therapist for Early Intervention.  Working with toddlers one-on-one has been a dream come true.  There's not too many jobs out there that you get paid to 'play' which is basically what I do.  Of course, there's more to it or I wouldn't be called a specialist:) 
What are the best things about my job?  The first one is that the hours are flexible so I have time to spend with my kids and husband.  The second,  and maybe best part, is seeing a child do or say something for the first time.  I've been brought to tears many times at a session, overwhelmed with emotion because a mom has heard their child say 'mama' for the first time or crawled or taken steps.  I'm very blessed to be a part of that moment in so many families.
