Nathan and Abigail almost fight over who gets to pray at meals. "I'm fuhrst!" "No, it's my turn!" (I just realized how ironic it is that they're fighting over praying...) Grandma Ko has been with us this week and it's so sweet the way Abigail always thanks God for "Grandma visit us." She's also very methodical in thanking God for everyone's (fill in the blank)..."Thank you for Mommy's rice, Daddy's rice, Nathan's rice, Abby's rice..." So sweet.
Nathan has had a pattern to his prayers for quite awhile but every now and then he'll surprise me. There's a boy in his preschool class that always takes toys from other kids and is just generally annoying. This boy has been our "prayer pal" all year (a picture of the boy to remind us to pray for him and his family) but Nathan tends to forget, probably because he's not fond of this boy. Nathan's also been particularly "3" this week, and we've been talking ALL.THE.TIME about listening. So last night when I was tucking him in, he was praying, and said, "...and God, please, PLEASE help me to listen. And thank you for (boy's name from school) and that he's in my class." So sweet.
