God, we thank you!

Camden learned the sweetest prayer at Victory when he was in the toddler class. And now little brother has learned it too! When it is time to pray, Jaden folds his hands and squeezes his eyes shut. It is the cutest thing.

This too shall pass...

So, unfortunately, Jaden is going through a bit of phase right now where he is super attached to Mommy. He stands right beside me and just cried for me to pick him up. He will pull on my pants and grab my leg. It is quite pitiful. If I take him in the living room and put him down, he lays down on the floor and cries. I keep telling myself that 14 months is a little young for a fit, but sometimes I do wonder. He is only happy if I am sitting on the floor in the living room. So, needless to say, I haven't been getting much accomplished until after he goes to bed. But I am trying to remember that this is only a phase and should (hopefully) be over quickly. I am also doing a lot of praying for tolerance.

The sweetest prayers are the simplest!

"Dear God,

Thank you for the trees, God.

Thank you for the flowers, God.

There are no flowers.(you look up at us confused)

(Todd inserts thank you for the soon to be flowers, so the prayer will continue.) 

Thank you for us, God.

Bless Mommy, Daddy and Camden.

In Jesus precious name,

Amen"

Camden, Mommy and Daddy are so proud that you are praying on your own. In the beginning, you repeated what Daddy and Mommy would pray. Then, when you learned prayers at Victory, you would say those. I loved hearing those prayers, but couldn't wait to hear you start praying on your own. We can tell you are still repeating what you have heard, but my heart is just overflowing to hear you pray. You even have a special position you lay in on your bed when when pray. Once or twice, you have asked to kneel by Mommy and Daddy. We love this special time with you before bed!
