Prayers

We walked over to get our mail Friday night and stopped by Mamaw's to say, "Hi!"

Later that evening, as we were snuggled in the rocker, talking to Papa on the phone to say our prayers together, something wonderful happened. For the last year, Eli's prayers have been, "Nigh nigh, Jela. I lulu Jela." (for the longest time it was Jeje- now it is Jela) And then Papa and I add a little bit- like, "Thank you for the beautiful day we had today. Thank you for this or that, etc."

So, Friday night, Eli added his own thank you for the first time. Soooo, it went something like this..... "Nigh, Nigh Jeje, I lulul Jeje. Tank you for seen' Naynan, Mamaw an Papaw. " and then in a very quiet voice, he said, "An for Wedwey."

Translation- thank you for goin to see Cheyenne, Mamaw and Papaw. Thank you for Wesley"

Wesley wasn't there when we went over to see Mamaw and Papaw- but Cheyenne was. How awesome that he seems to be getting it.

He is now sitting on my lap, naming the letters on the keyboard, wanting to push them all. So, another post comes to an end. How I am growing to love you more and more everyday, my little guy!!! Hard to believe a year ago we were still being 2 hour a day parents, longing to take you home when we left the baby home for the day!!
