First Prayer
Every night before Amelia goes to bed we follow the same routine, which she loves. Daddy gives her a bath and puts her pajamas on, I help her brush her teeth and try to brush her hair, I read stories, sing a few songs (this always includes the ABCs) and then we call for Daddy to come and say a prayer with us. She always has to hide somewhere in her room for Daddy to find her...all the while saying, "don't get us, don't get us." Chris pretends to search around the room for her...Amelia loves it.
Then, before turning out the lights we say a prayer with her. She usually picks who says the prayer...mommy or daddy. Until last week, when her answer was "Mia say it."
Her first prayer went something like this:
Heavenly Father, thank thee for this day, mumble, mumble, mumble, daddy feel better (chris wasn't feeling well), mumble, mumble, mumble, AMEN!
Chris and I both had big smiles on our faces listening to our little girl.
Since then she has said her own prayer almost every night.
