When did you say your first prayer?


Andrew wanted to say his first prayer one night. We usually just said one and he folded his arms and listened but on January 17th 2010 he wanted to say it himself. We had asked him a million times if he wanted to say it and he always shook his head no but on this night he said with an enthusiastic smile "yah!" He said it so cute. The words he said the best through the prayer were: thank you, Da Da, Ma Ma, and Jesus. He just started to say amen this week. Until now every time he would say the prayer he would only say Jesus at the end and not Christ or amen. I was happy he got the most important part down, but now he is saying it all. :) I love moments like this in life when the whole world stops and my heart smiles. He was so proud he said the prayer that he cheered really loud afterwards and then when we went to church we were sitting in Sacrament meeting and after they said the opening prayer Andrew let out a big "Yay" and put his hands in the air and started clapping and cheering. We had to quiet him down, but it was cute to see he was so happy to talk to Heavenly Father. ;) If only we still had the innocence of a child.
