Noah's Prayer

We started reading scriptures and saying prayers as a family a couple weeks ago, and my favorite prayer was said tonight. Not that it was a lot different than the other prayers Noah says, but it was just a very real version of what this child of mine is like. I love him dearly, and he makes me laugh, but he can be so sweet too. It is kind of amazing where his mind can take him. Enjoy.

Tyler: Dear Heavenly Father,
Noah: Dear Hev Fawder,

Tyler: Thank you for this day,
Noah: Thank you for day,

Tyler: Thank you for cousins,
Noah: Thank you cousins,

Tyler: Thank you for Jennie,
Noah: Thank you Jennie, Broc, Ella, Druie, Cloe!

Tyler: Thank you for Mommy,
Noah: Thank you Mommy, Daddy, Me!

Tyler: Thank you for baby,
Noah: Thank you for 2 babies,

Tyler: Bless us to feel Thy love,
Noah: Dad! What me say?!

Tyler: Say, Bless us to feel Thy love,
Noah: Dad! What me say?!

Tyler: Say, Thank you for Jesus,
Noah: Me need drink water!

Me: Noah, come say the prayer with Dad.

Tyler: Say, Bless us to feel Thy love,
Noah: Dad! What me say?!

Me: Noah, what do you want to say?
Tyler: Noah, say what you want to say.
Noah: Dad! What me say?!

Tyler: Say, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Noah: Name Jesus Christ, men!

Sometimes he growls the whole prayer, sometimes we can't get him to hold still, and sometimes he can get through the whole prayer with zero distractions. But I can just imagine that these are the beginnings of some quality family experiences that we will cherish forever. Heavenly Father is happy with our efforts, even if they are just comical sometimes, but at least we are trying!

Side Note: Noah went pee in the toilet today! He and Tyler stood up afterwards and said "Hooray!"

Noah also started calling me Bawbaw today, and the past couple days he has been calling me Mawmaw instead of Mom, and Tyler Dada instead of Dad. Such an interesting boy sometimes.
