little prayers

Well, we switched a few months ago from the regular child bedtime prayer to unscripted ones. We have done both before, but either Kevin or myself would lead the prayer and the boys would echo it. Well, we switched a few months ago to letting each one do their own prayer. Takes a little bit longer, but it doesn't seem that way because of how interesting it is.

A couple of cute things that have happened....Spencer loves it and of course is very thoughtful in his prayers. Riley is funny. He has thanked God for the days of the week, and asked the Lord to bless "everyone in the earth and the other earth. And bless everyone in the world. And other worlds." LOL Kevin corrected him the other night, but I told him I liked hearing his little prayers, "correct" or not :)

One night recently Talan was praying (and for some reason he never says, "Dear Lord..." he just breaks right into "Thank you..." His are so very sweet too! Well anyhow, one night recently he was praying and he began to ask the Lord to bless "Mommy, Daddy, Riley and Talan and the baby girl Ansley..." and Spencer gave out some time of signal that--ahem--he had forgotten him! Well, after the prayer was over, Spencer told him that he forgot him. And I did as well. And then I asked if he wanted to ask God to bless Spencer. His answer? "Naaaah!!!" LOL!

Spencer and I just cracked up.
