I think teaching kids to pray is a really important part of parenting. We started singing the "God our Father" and then saying "Now I lay me down to sleep" simple kids prayer to A. from birth. Both are prayers that our parents said with us. A. started saying them with us when she was about 18 or 19 months. Then we started adding in just a little thank you to God about whatever happened that day. Tonight, for the first time, A said her own:
Dear God,
Thanks for today and Daddy and Mommy and K. and Mommy and K.. Thank you for Rollie Pollie.
Amen.
It was awesome.
