Last night we had a rare moment of family prayer at the girls' bedtime. We usually put them to bed separately, and I pray with Colby and Cat prays with Peyton. But for some reason, we all ended up in Colby's room. All three girls were on the bed, and I sat in the rocking chair next to it.

I asked Colby what she wanted to pray about. She didn't feel like it just then, but Peyton piped up, "AhhhPway." (Translates to "I want to pray").

"You do?" I asked. "Great! Say 'Dear Jesus, thank you for today.'"

"Da du mumbles po today."

"Thank you for mommy and daddy."

"Da du mumbles some more po mommy daddy!"

"Thank you for Colby."

"Da du more mumbling po Colby!

"mumbles

"mumbles more

"mumbles still more

"much rambling mumbling"

And then, hands folded before her, in all sincerity:

"mumbling Bumble Bee. mumbles Mommy be so pa do Me. mumbles Bumble Bee..."

Needless to say, we all busted up laughing. But it was one of the sweetest moments she's had. She was so earnest in her unintelligible prayer. Cat and I were both really enjoying the moment. But she went on so long that sho lost track of what she was doing, and just started to sing a song.
