A Child's Prayer

When I got home from work today and asked Mary if the kids had done anything particularly cute she mentioned two adorable anecdotes. There are trains that run through the heart of Mtn Home so Sarah and Nathan have always been excited about hearing or seeing them and they both love playing with their Brio train tracks. Today they set up our four dining chairs in a single file line as a train and then proceeded to fill two of the four chairs with various stuffed animals and then sat in the other two chairs. Mary said that before they embarked on their "journey" Sarah insisted that they say a prayer before leaving and that Nathan was very reverent with his arms folded for Sarah's prayer. The two also love to play with our little food and dining set. They love to feed each other, Mom, Dad, or any of their stuffed animals. Today, before they commenced their meal with one another Sarah again decided that a prayer was necessary prior to them eating. Again, Sarah said the prayer and Nathan was compliant during the prayer. Pretty cute kids. It's so amazing how so much of the things that we try to do with them or teach them really stick with them. Kids are such amazing learners!
