Comments

Jodi

I asked her and she responded, "Sher be dur dat um bet hi lo." Apparently she has a lot to be thankful for but just can't get the words out yet! (She's only 19 months). She has been playing the game of pointing to her belly and saying, "No" and then pointing to mine saying, "Baby!"

Heather Lewis

I asked my almost three old what she's thankful for & her response was "Cupcakes!" So I guess I need to add cupcakes to our Thanksgiving menu!

Sara

"For snacks" They were eating grapes.

Can Can (Mom Most Traveled)

"I like the Indiana Jones stuff. And Star Wars."
"What about your family?"
"Yes."

I asked my 2 year old daughter several times and depending on what she was doing or wanting at the time her answered changed..

While having me stand in her face, her answer was "Mommy!" and then she gave me the biggest hug.

While eating blueberries.. her answer was "berries!"

While watching Dora.. her answer was "Dora!"

When the dog walked into the room, her answer was "Coco!"

She truly has a lot to be thankful for, but I'm not sure she truly understood what I was asking.

My son is only 10 months old, but I imagine that if he could talk he'd say "milkies" - this would be so fun to win considering we're looking at expanding the family soon, and this would make a great way to announce it. :)

Dara

My big boy is in school right now, but my 3 yo daughter is thankful for "all the kisses you gave me last night" (guess who knows she's cute) and the baby is thankful "dat mmmm ya da"

I just asked my one year old son and daughter what they're thankful for as they're going to be big siblings this February. They answered Mommy 'ug (hug!)

Becca

A couple of weeks ago when we asked our 2-y-o what she is thankful for, she immediately spouted off a list of Mama, Daddy, her baby brother, our dog, and then as many aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents as she can think of. It's a long list, so we haven't asked again.

Laura

laurie

Our two year old said 'dinosaur, dinosaur.' Maybe she will get to see a real one in her lifetime through some crazy scientific breakthrough!

Katrina Brady

I asked my two year old what she was thankful for and she looked at me and gave me a dirty look and than said "NO WAY MOM" I do not think she understood me... so I asked her what made her happy and she got a really big smile on her face and shouted "SISSY" She absoutly loves her little sister who is 4 months old. She gives her at least 30 kisses a day!!!!! She is such a great big sister!!!!!

Anne

what a cute thing to ask the LO, mine is only 10 mo. but I am sure if she could reply she would say "Kitty" bc that is her BFF. We are thinking of trying again soon and I would love to announce our success by having her wear this shirt!!!

Karen

The moon. He just loves the moon. When we ask him "What did God make?" He always says "the moon". :)

My son is thankful for his kitty cat, Samba, whom he really loves and hugs several times a day (much to her dismay, she is the ever patient cat!) He is also thankful for snacks! (what he really means are carbs!) I would love to win this shirt, because we just found out a couple of weeks ago that we are pregnant and I would love to take a photo of my son and I to announce it. How cute!
