We've been talking to the kids about the importance of prayer. (ie, it isn't just a rote "thank you for mommy and daddy amen" wam-bam-thank-you-ma'am sorta thing). Anyway, we have told them that we ask Jesus to forgive us for the (specific) bad things we have done, ask Him to help us be obedient to Him and then thank Him for all of the blessings He has given us.
Tonight, Ryan was struggling through the various aspects of prayer and kept asking "now what" after each sentence. I reminded him it was time to thank Jesus for all of the good things He has given us. Ryan thinks a minute. So I decided to help him out and prompted him...
Me: "Ryan, what are you thankful for?"
Ryan: "Umm, Batman?"
Anna-Kate: (misunderstood and somehow thought he only mentioned Daddy) "No Ryan! You have to thank Jesus for all your family, and me, especially me!"
Ryan: "OHHH! Daddy and Mommy and Anna-Kate, kate, kate and Jackie, Jackie, Jackie...
Silly boy.
