Son #2 is learning to pray before he goes to bed. Last night, we read from a devotional book as the boys ate berry cobbler at the kitchen table. After worship, my husband prayed. Then, he asked Son #2 if he wanted to say his prayer. Son #2 babbled and smiled.
Our boys closed their eyes and folded their hands as I began. "Dear..."
Son #2 repeated. "Dearw..."
"Jesus" I continued.
"Ee...u" Son #2 said.
"Thank you..." I stated.
"Ta...tu" Son #2 chirped.
"for..." I instructed
"ni...ni..." (Translation: Night, night) Son #2 declared.
"Help me..." I spoke.
"be..." Son #2 announced.
"good." I finished.
Silence.
"I..." Son #2 began.
"love..." I continued.
"Mama!" Son #2 finished. (That is not what we have been practicing. He is supposed to say "you".)
"Amen!" I concluded.
Son #2 grinned and clapped. He is a sweet baby.
