Amen!

Every night before dinner Colin reminds us we need to say an amen - this is what he calls a prayer.  He folds his hands so sweetly and bows his head waiting or one of us to begin. Usually he will have a very loud "Amen!" ready at the end and then he sometimes will clap for us after the prayer is over and tell us "good job" - nice of him, huh?  Lately he has also starting paying a lot more attention to his prayer bear - I don't know if this is the official name or not but Grammie gave it to him over a year ago and now he has decided he loves it.  You can push either of the hands or feet and each time you hear a recording of a different kid-friendly prayer.

Of course he can't forget about giving Henry bedtime kisses - and of course he always does this after his teeth are brushed.

Sweet boy - I am guessing it won't always be this easy to get him to say his goodnight prayers.  Maybe I will be wrong.  Who knows but I think he is off to a good start.
