Prayers

About a month ago, Reid started "praying" with us before meals. He folds his hands together and says "meh" really loudly and emphatically for "Amen".

Sierra has started praying more on her own and it is so sweet.

* ever since our visit to see the Carvajals a few weeks ago, every night she wants to "thank God for Isabella, Victoria, Alex and Anya" (Alex and Anya have been long time prayer requests)

* in the car yesterday, she was reading and all of a sudden stopped, folded her hands together and prayed "Dear God, thank you for the trees and for my whole family. And Dear God protect Reid and for me to not allergic to peanuts anymore so we can all eat peanuts together. Amen." And then she went back to reading. We've prayed together for God to heal her of allergies but I've never said anything about us all eating peanuts together. So sweet and makes me so sad at the same time. Yes, God, please answer that prayer.

* she often prays for God to "protect Reid's little body"

* last week there were a few nights in a row where as I was praying (out loud) with her, she had her eyes closed softly saying "that's right, that's right" over and over through my whole prayer. I giggled to myself! It was hilarious and I have NO idea where she got that from! No judgement at all for those who pray that way, but we don't so I can't figure out where she got it from. Too cute!
