Conversation with my son last night while putting him to bed.
Tucking him in, putting his blankets on him.
Bug: "I want to say prayer."
Me: "Sure, you can say the prayer. Do you need my help?"
Bug: "No."
Me: "Okay. Lets close our eyes and fold our arms. You start when you are ready."
Short silence. I started thinking that I was going to have to open my eyes and find him smiling at me, and then I would end up saying the prayer anyway. And right when I was going to open my eyes I heard the sweetest sound a Mother ever hears.
Bug: "Dear Heavenly Father.....gibberish....gibbersh.....Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Shelby....gibberish.....Hats (?).......gibberish....Amen".
Me: "I am so proud of you!"
I was beaming inside and was just so proud! I had no idea that he would actually pray! I figured he would be 4 or 5 before he wanted to do this, but I guess I was wrong. We will see what tonight brings. Things like this make me glad that I am his MOMMY.

I know what you mean. We are working w/Dominic at saying prayer for meal times. When he closes his eyes he starts to say gibberish as well. It's a proud moment.
How adorable!! It is SOOO amazing to watch your children learn the Gospel and to love God. You think sometimes that they aren't paying attention- but they are!!! It is moments like these where "aha!" - my children do learn from me!
