Bedtime Prayers

You can always tell what we've done or who we've met based on Jory's prayers. Any adult who has made an impact on him, he remembers at his bedtime prayer. At times, he's tried to pray for his stuffed animals, which I tried to ixnay but a friend said, let it be so I did and he stopped. He prays for animals. I probably wouldn't, but we're not the same person so I let it go.

You can always tell what he does and doesn't understand also. Once he saw Auntie Dee Dee and Uncle Stan together at their house, then he started praying for both not just his Auntie. Now I realize, he's confused about Aunt LaLa's name. He prays for Aunt LaLa, then prays for Miss Julie's dad, Miss Julie's dad's dog, and Miss Julie. There's some disconnect there that Julie and Aunt LaLa are the same person. We'll have to work on that.

I love that when he meets someone, he adds them to his list of people to pray for. That he remembers them and prays for them.

I think I might love this sweet, praying little boy.
