Trying hard not to laugh...

So, anyone that knows our Precious Number 2, knows that you can't anticipate what she will say next... let's just say she lives up to the blond in her hair!!
Every night as we pray together she faithfully prays for her little brother who is coming "in like 3 days or something like that" (right, something like that...)
 So, for your reading enjoyment, here's a snippet of her prayers put into one... She usually prays for a bit then gets to her main topic of prayer lately which goes something like this...
Precious One:  "Dear God, we thank you that we are getting a new brother who will be younger than me but will be a boy like Tobias and probably sleep in his room in a bed, but maybe a crib, and who will fit in somewhere by our baby sister and who is coming from Ghana which is in Africa..."
Me or Ryan:  "okay, pretty sure God's got that now, you can move on..."
Precious One:  "And we just thank you he is going to come and just be with him as he is in Africa, keep him safe, and make sure he has good teeth..."
Me or Ryan:  (Raising of eyebrows)
Precious One:  "And thank you that he will have dark skin because he's from Africa.  And we pray that he wouldn't love God..."
Me or Ryan:  "Wait, wait, wait... you mean love God."
Precious One:  "No, Mom, there are just some people who don't love God."
Me or Ryan:  "Okay right, but we are going to tell him about God & how much God loves him, so we are praying that he would learn to love God..."
Precious One:  (sigh...)  "Okay, so we pray that we teach him how You love him & that he will learn to love you.  And we thank you that we will teach him not to fight so that he won't fight like Tobias & I sometimes fight.  And we thank you.."
Me or Ryan:  "Okay, you know what?  I think that's good for today... let's just wrap it up..."
Precious One:  "And God, please just bring him here really soon. Amen."
AMEN!!  SO BE IT!!

  1. HILARIOUS! And wonderful, too, that she's so comfortable talking to God about anything and everything under the sun. :)
