tonight, when i scooped up finners and took him into his room for bedtime, he folded his chubby little arms and said "prayer." i asked him if he wanted to say the prayer tonight, and he began whispering like he does when he tells secrets in your ear. it was the sweetest thing. and then, when i started saying a very simple prayer (along the lines of "dear heavenly father, we thank you for today. we thank you for our family..."), he piped up with "dad" and "penny" and "puppies." i could barely squeak out the rest of our thankfuls for the silent tears sliding down my cheeks and keeping my voice at bay. so we left it at that; tonight, we were thankful for dad and penny and puppies.
and a little boy named finn cannon.
That is so sweet!
