We've been working with our kids, Westley especially (since he is older and talking better), at prayers. You know, teaching them how to open, what to say and how to close and letting them practice. At first, Westley would only pray for the food at mealtimes and for good sleep at bedtime. Lately, though, he has been praying for some interesting things.
Somewhere along the way he has learned that we wear clothes so we won't be naked. One of the things he is thankful for is that he is not naked. Another cute one is from a video we watch often on Sunday mornings. If you are LDS, you will know what this is about...the Book of Mormon animated story of the Tree of Life. Westley now prays that Heavenly Father will bless him to stay away from the Great and Spacious Building.
Other various things have included that bathtime will be fun, that his ducky will sleep good, and that Travis will keep smiling. Isn't it cute what kids sometimes say in their prayers?

It is my goal to get my prayers to be as sincere and straight forward as a child's prayer. It's fun to read about the cute things your kids do!
