The Choo-choo Prayer

Noah has a hard time with prayers. He doesn't even like to fold his arms, let alone say the prayer. So we were surprised last night after our family prayer when Noah said he wanted to try it. Normally, when we help him say the prayer we supply the first part and let him fill in the blanks. For example, Mollee will say "Help us ..." and Noah will say "... choose the right."

Noah must have had an agenda last night, however, because the prayer went something like this:
"We're thankful for ..." "... choo-choos."
"Please bless ..." "... choo-choos."
"Help us ..." "... choo-choos."
"In the name of ..." "...choo-choos, amen."

At least he's trying.

That is so cute! Lily was on a streak for a long time where all she would say in her prayer was "please bless President Monson" and then end it. Then she would tell us that she said "please bless President Monson". It was cute. And in EVERY prayer. :)
