A Proud Parent Moment

Last night Jason, Brooklynn and I knelt down for family prayer. We always ask Brooklynn who she would like to say prayers. She's been pretty good at rotating between Jason and I but last night she broke out in the sweetest little prayer on her own. All those slow bedtime prayers where we would have her repeat the things we would say payed off last night. Jason and I were just beaming at how grown up our little girls was. She started off with, "Dear Heavenly Father"- asked that Momma be blessed, Dada be blessed, Brooklynn be blessed (about 5x) and then baby Alivia, and that we would all sleep good. She ended with "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." It's moments like this where you have a clear focus on your purpose as a parent and even though things seems crazier than normal most of the time... you just want to pat yourself on the back because something went right somewhere and you helped your baby learn to pray.
