Baby Prayers

Every night Chris and I split the kids up for bedtime routines. We all do teeth-brushing together, then one of us will put Jace to bed, and the other will get Aria later in the evening. I was on Jace duty tonight. I read him his current favorite bedtime story, "Say Moo". He is so cute, and loves making the animal sounds even if he gets them all sorts of mixed up! Then we said prayers. My nightly prayer is "Thank you, God, for today, for giving us everything you gave us. Thank you for our family, for Mommy and Daddy and Jason and Aria. Thank you for the good day we had today, (Insert applicable list of good things) where we got to play outside, then go over and play with Nick and Krystal and Bree and Julius. It was a good day, Amen." Then I sing Twinkle-Twinkle, You Are My Sunshine, and Hush Now, My Baby. 
   I was a few words into "Twinkle", when Jace interrupted and started saying, "Tony, Tony!" I realized he was adding Tony to the list of people he was grateful to play with today, it was so sweet. So I said, "You're right! Thanks for letting us play with Tony!" He seemed satisfied, and layed back down to snuggle for the song. It was only a second before he popped back up, and said "And Nana! And PopPop, and Grandma, and Grandpa, and Daddy, and Jace, and Ari and Mommy!" I thought it was the sweetest thing that he wanted to add all the names to his prayers. I can't believe how big he is getting, and how much he understands. <3
