Paul's first prayer

Although I was snorting and puffing and hiding my face behind the wall to suppress laughter, I did have tears of motherly pride in my eyes while Paul said his first prayer. I mean a real genuine, impromptu, no-help-from-mom blessing on his PB & J sandwich kind of prayer.

Honestly, I don't know why I was laughing so hard. His prayer was just right in every way. I was surprised at how well he did considering we don't usually "help" him with prayers in the usual repeat-after-me style. I think I was just overwhelmed with love for this adorable, little human being who was saying what came out of his own little head in prayer to Heavenly Father. Apparently my body had no other way to express that love but through laughter. (Refer to laughter post)

Here's Paul's first prayer, without any help:

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankful for water,
Thankful for mommy,
Thankful for daddy,
Thankful for Paul,
Thankful for Jesus,
...
Thankful for mana, (banana)
Pwease bwess us be good,
...
Bwess us be safe,
Bwess us for bread,
Bwess us be good,
...
Bwess us be good,
...
Bwess us be good,
...
In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
