A Child's Prayer

Yesterday was a hard day. It was just one of those days when I am not happy, the kids are not happy and we are just snapping at each other all day long. My Super Boy was very two yesterday. Kicking, screaming fits, running away, yelling, hitting, not fun at all. I lost it during Missy Mouse's gymnastics. WHY IS IT ALWAYS IN PUBLIC?  While heading home with all three of us in a foul mood, Super Boy fell asleep in the car. I heaved a sigh of relief.  Now I knew I had only to get him from the car to his bed without awaking the beast!  I had him in his bed and realized I had to take his coat off....so I gently took it off, and...he WOKE UP!  ARGGG!!!  But what did Super Boy say upon awakening? "Prays?"  "Yes buddy," I replied, "lets say prayers."  Two years old's in our home are old enough to pray. Once they start repeating what we say we start asking them to say prayers. Since Super Boy just started repeating words a few months ago he is just learning how to pray. Super Boy LOVES to pray.  I can not be angry with a little voice thanking his Heavenly Father for his Daddy, Mommy, Sisters and dog. As soon as he was done saying his prayer, he climbed back into bed and fell asleep. YEAH!!  And so today I am thankful for a sweet little two year old prayer.
