Sophie's Prayer

On Saturday, Nov. 25, I was putting Sophie to bed. Our bedtime routine consists of reading a book, turning out the light and saying a prayer. When we first started, I would say the prayer and Sophie would (sometimes) quietly listen. A couple of weeks ago, I started saying a line of a prayer and Sophie would repeat it.

This time, however, she said her very first prayer all by herself:

"Dear God. Thank you for Mommy and Daddy. Amen."

It was a good, good day.
