Prayers

Adam says the best prayers. He wants to be the one to pray at every meal, which is great. His prayers consist of saying thank you for anything and everything he can think of. His typical prayer goes like this:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for mommy and daddy and Adam and Jackson. Thank you for Noah and Talia and Aiden and Asher. Thank you that Jackson won't make noise during the prayer. Thank you for grandmas and grandpas and aunt Rachels and Uncle Daris. Thank you for Uncle Brian to come over. Thank you for Jesus Christ. Thank you for our blessings. Name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
During his prayer I will remind him to bless the food (if he is praying at meal time). He usually doesn't, so I'll remind him when he's done and he'll quickly add that part and say Amen again. Well, last night at bed time, he was saying his prayers and added this part:
"Thank you that mommy won't tell me what to say in my prayer."
I guess I better stop trying to get him to bless the food...

That's cute! It seems like a pretty long prayer for a guy his age. It might be fun to hear him and Megan argue over who gets to say the prayer at every meal...
