Isla has taken some time to get her brain wrapped-around saying some prayers before bedtime. We started about six months ago, and we have been stuck on the 'Food Prayer' that she knows.
Great intentions, but a bit off the mark - so I have been teaching her to think of all things that she is happy about before she falls asleep - and then to thank God for them.
Until tonight, I have always done the talking.
So there we were - laying in her bed and I asked if she was ready for me to say prayers - and she said 'No! I am going to do them.' So here they are:
"God, thank you for eyebrows. And God, thank you for the grass. And I like chocolate."
"And Daddy." "And Mommy."
"And God - thank you for elle's birthday tomorrow. I love being her bigger sister."
With that final note, she rolled over and went to sleep...
