Praying with a 3.5 yr-old


Yes, yes. It's been a while. Been a bit busy. More on the fun we've had later. First I have to share a few Jacobisms. He is very good at saying the prayer. On the food, or before bedtime, etc. A couple of examples:

"Dear Father, we're so grateful to be blessed. And so grateful that we can get more blessed by Daddy."

Frequently the bedtime prayer goes something like this: "Dear Heavenly Father - - DAD - You help me say the fun parts -- Dear Heavenly Father ... [And then Dad proceeds to help him remember a few things for which he can be thankful]."

"And please bless Hannah so that she doesn't have to get a spanking or sauce."

...sauce?

What a nice brother, always looking out for his older sister. I bet he is a riot! Miss you guys.

Sauce - yes - to the chagrin of the mother, one of my favorite of corporal punishments. It's rarely used, but has the best effects when time-out is bombing. Sauce - like Frank's Original spicy Wing sauce is delicious. I would get in trouble just to have some more.

Connor wants to say the prayer before we eat ANYTHING--a snack, piece of gum, etc. It's becoming a bit irreverent I think, but I don't want to squash the enthusiasm.
