Since starting at Advent this fall, Tyler has been on "prayer patrol!" He keeps us on track with the blessing ... usually not letting us start the meal until he leads us in saying "God!" The actual prayer is a few lines lines long, all of which he tries to say (although we recently learned he has been saying "careful" instead of "thankful.") The funniest part of this whole thing is not how cute he and Abby looking saying this prayer, or how diligent they are - doing it at every meal (in or out of the house) ... but the fact that he calls us out if we're doing it wrong. If he can't see your hands, he shouts "HANDS!" and if you are praying from across the room, he will interuppt the prayer and say "Sit ... TABLE!" Several weeks ago, he would kind of pray with one eye open (or squinting) to keep an eye on things. Now, he just opens his eyes midway and does a once over to make sure everyone is in line. I guess we should be happy that our children see the value in thanking God for what we have ... and we do have so much to be thankful for (especially funny children!)
