Prayers

Recently, we've been getting Jackson to try and say his prayers. He always needs a little help, so we will whisper things for him to say when he stops or says he needs help.

Earlier today at lunch, at some point in the prayer, he stated, "Please bless our bones..." ?! Where did he get that?!

Then tonight at dinner, he told Forrest that it was his turn to say the prayer. Forrest is about ready to say it, but then Jackson starts off, "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day...." At this point he gets stuck and asks for help, so Forrest whispers ("Please bless the food") Jackson then says, "Please bless the food to make me big and strong so I can drive...." He pauses, so Forrest whispers ("Please keep us safe") Jackson continues, "Please keep us safe while I drive." And then proceeds to close the prayer.

Forrest and I were dying! We tried real hard to keep our laughter concealed while he was finishing. It was hilarious! Don't you just love how sweet and innocent little kid prayers are? :D
