Noey's First Prayer

We have a practice of praying with Noey every night before he goes to bed. It started out with DD praying for all of us, but has recently evolved into a practice where DD prays and Noey repeats after him.

On Saturday night, DD was suffering from a bad sore throat, so he asked me if I would pray instead. "I will pray!" quipped Noey. We were more than happy to let him pray for all of us. And this is what he came up with:

"Thank God for the world so sweet.
Thank you God for the sky.
Thank you God for the birds.
Thank you God for making us.
Please bless Noey and Mei Mei and Mummy and Papa.
And also... and also... and also...
Thank you God for making us. And thank you God for legs.
In Jesus' Name we pray, AMEN!"

His first full-length self-constructed prayer. It's funny, but we couldn't be more proud.

  5. @XY Thanks! :)

    @lilsnooze It's just precious what the little ones come up with on their own!

    @Beverly Hey Beverly, thanks! Noey's always been early speech-wise. It's very amusing hearing what he comes up with. You'll get there with H too soon enough :)

    @Fan :P If you see how he loves grabbing my legs, you wouldn't be surprised he said that!

    @olimomok Haha! My legs aren't nice, but Noey does love stroking my legs -- I can't stand it when he does that -- so I actually totally know where he's coming from!

    @Susan Hah, it's so odd right?

  6. What a sweet prayer. I suppose the legs part is so that he can run around and be able to enjoy the great outdoors (incl seeing the birds and sky...)? :P
