Children are so beautiful and innocent and the time passes so quickly:
A conversation between a 5 year old and a 3 year old concerning personal prayers:
K: Canyon, you know when Mommy reads stories? Can you see the stories in your mind?
C: *thinking* YES!
K: After you hear a song can you hear it in your mind?
C: *thinking* YES!!
K: When you say a prayer can you think of it in your mind?
C: *thinking* YES!
K: Canyon, that is how you say your own prayer in your mind!!
This happened a couple of weeks ago and ever since I will see Canyon pausing while doing something, he will then go on to tell me he just said a prayer!
A couple of days ago Kailey came out of her room:
K: Mom, I just said a different kind of prayer
S: Oh really? Whats a different kind of prayer?
K: A "Mary" Prayer
S: Thats nice Kailey (slightly brushing her off, because I didnt really realize what she was saying)
K: Ya, instead of saying "Our Dear Heavenly Father", I said "Dear Heavenly Mother"
I didnt find out the content of her prayer because I was so beside myself that she even considered doing this. SO Sweet.
Each time CJ and Canyon play there is some sort of dramatic climax. It usually goes something like this, for example:
CJ: Alright Canyon, time for me to throw you in the lake!! *picking him up*
C: No Dad!! No!! *laughing*
CJ: Lets go... off to the lake!
C: But Dad, NO!!! *still laughing*
CJ: *carrying Canyon over his shoulder*
C: But DAD!!.... YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND!!!!!
