Grady's Prayer

Grady’s prayer tonight:

G: Dear God, Thank you for Auntie Ash for making us dinner tonight. Thank you for Grandma and Grandpa coming to Auntie Ash’s house. Thank you for Spots and Stripes. Thank you for Mommy. Thank you for Daddy.

Me: What can we ask God to help us with?

G: Being kind. Using kind words.

Me: And using kind hands.

G: Unless someone is mean to me. Then I can use mean hands.

Me: No, you can just walk away.

G: Unless I’m on my bike, then I’d ride away. Fast. So the mean guy can’t get me.

Me: OK.

G: Thank you for Buzz. And Woody.

Me: Ok, In Jesus name…

G: Amen.

Me: Now it’s time to lay really still. Close our eyes, and go to sleep.

G: And thank you God for Lainey. Mom, do you hear her, she’s yelling for you? Realllllly loud mom.

Me: Yes, close your eyes. Lay still. It is our job to go to sleep now.

G: God, Thank you for Holly. Hank. Walter. Jimmy. Rick. Andie Kate. (Seriously in that order. Dogs in the middle).

Me: Wow, you named the whole Feger family.

G: Thank you for Auntie Ash for making us dinner tonight. (Side note: He did not touch the dinner, freaked out and wanted ‘orange’ chips basically pushed his plate on the floor and had a tantrum throughout the entire meal).

Me: Amen.

 Then I thanked God because for the first time in what seems like weeks, he fell asleep and didn't come downstairs repeatedly. Maybe it was divine intervention. Or maybe it was because last night he didn't give up until after 10:00 and was up as always at 5:45. Who knows. :)
