A Two Year Olds Prayer

Quick post to forever document something I never want to forget...

Lately, we have been saying prayers with Sam before he goes to bed. We sit beside his bed, fold our hands and bow our heads, and then we help Sam figure out what he wants to say. Mostly, we give thanks for the good things in our lives. Last night, we said the standard "Thank you for this great day, and for our family, and for all of our many blessings," but right before we got to "Amen," Sam interrupted (in his tiny little voice with his adorable pronounciation):

"Wait wait wait, God!! I wana say sumpin'. Sank you for take (read: cake) and for my toy dun (read: gun) and for Disney Wuud (read: World). Ok. Amen now."

He was so earnest and serious, with his little eyes squeezed shut and his little hands clasped. Cake and his gun and Disney World...his three most cherished and beloved things. We couldn't decide whether to giggle or cry -- it was a very sweet moment.

Fiona update coming later this evening, followed by a general life update if there's time!
