We've been encouraging Daniel to help us in our prayer before meals. We typically say the standard Catholic prayer before meals and then add a few other "thanksgivings." Daniel's getting the hang of it, and tonight his prayer sounded something like this:
"Thank you for Mommy and Daddy.
Thank you for Daniel.
Thank you for the food.
Thank you for the milk.
Thank you for the spoon.
Thank you for the cup.
Thank you for the corn.
Thank you for the peas.
Thank you for the green beans.
Thank you for the carrots.
Thank you for the lima beans.
Thank you for the flowers.
Thank you for the butterflies.
Thank you for the candle.
Thank you for the water.
Thank you for the lemons.
Thank you for the house."
At this point, David cut in and said, "Remember, Daniel - when you're done, say 'amen.'"
To which Daniel continued:
"Thank you for the grass.
Thank you for the lawn.
Thank you for the windows.
Thank you for the doors.
Thank you for Mommy and Daddy and Daniel.
Amen."
