Nightly prayer with Bode has been an interesting thing. When we first started, he would repeat what we said. Other times he wouldn't want to say it "No! Mommy say it!" Then there has been the very fast rambling prayers a la Bode--"bless Daddy, Mommy, Keegen, Bode, Mr. Snake (that's another story), Grandma Di, Keegen, Mommy, Daddy..." Just the past few nights, Bode has started "uh huh'ing." He starts the prayer with the rambling blessings. Then what I add goes something like this:
Me: Thank you for this day.
Bode: Uh huh.
Me: Thank you for our blessings.
Bode: Uh huh.
Me: Thank you for Jesus.
Bode: Uh huh.
Me: Pray to sleep well.
Bode: Uh huh.
Me: In the name of Jesus Christ...
Bode: AMEN!!!
