Bun is pretty good at saying prayers. Or, I guess repeating prayers. She'll sometimes start and/or finish by herself, but the bulk of the prayer is just repeating what I say. Of course, it's very cute. The only problem: she always whispers the entire thing....every time.
So, this morning I tried a different tactic. For those of you familiar with Don & Audrey Wood's book, "I'm as Quick as a Cricket," this will probably be pretty humorous for you.
Me: "It's time to say the blessing, Bun."
Bun: "I say it."
Me: "OK, do you want to say it by yourself or do you want mommy to help you?"
Bun: "Mommy help you."
Me: "Alright, but this time I don't want you to whisper. I want you to be as "loud as a lion!"
She still whispered the entire prayer. The only difference was that she whispered the entire prayer in a really scary, lion-like growl. I've got to wonder if those prayers are the ones that Heavenly Father likes best. I'm sure He likes to laugh, too.
That's hilarious! I'm sure He loved it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that book, but it sounds like a keeper just from the title and the part about the lion. I'll have to check our library for it.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to tell you guys congratulations on baby #3! And another girl at that. :) We love our three girls and wouldn't trade them for a whole truck load of boys.
I put your blog on my google reader after it was on your Christmas card last year and I have to say that I'm always so happy to see another post. You have a great way of capturing the personalities of your girls that is so endearing and sweet and downright funny.
Hope the pregnancy is going well!
I can only get my little E to repeat after me when "she" is grateful for daddy and grandma and grandpa. At least Bun whispers...
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite books too. Wish I could have listened in!
