Excerpt from tonight's family prayer, offered by Atticus:
"...And please bless me that I'll get my new pets well. Even all 5 hamsters. And my new little foal. And a dog; make it a great dog. And my cornsnake."
Pause.
"And help my hamsters to know the word of wisdom. In the name of..."
"...And please bless me that I'll get my new pets well. Even all 5 hamsters. And my new little foal. And a dog; make it a great dog. And my cornsnake."
Pause.
"And help my hamsters to know the word of wisdom. In the name of..."
(I couldn't figure that last part out until I remembered a book we checked out from the library. It teaches that hamsters eat grains, fruits and vegetables.)
I hope it's not too great a trial of faith for him when we don't get any of the above-mentioned pets. Paris asked recently if we ought to get a dog. I've decided I love to chase, clean up after and potty-train humans. My energy ends there.

I just love the prayers that children say! They are so sweet!
We have thought about the dog too, but I'm with you, I can't do another kid right now.
Ok..I love how he wants a foal. Atticus is awesome. You are such a good Mom to document those special things the kids say. Cora has said so much that I wish I had written down. At the time I thought I will always remember that who needs to write it down. I've learned my lesson.
Amen, Kasey, Amen! I have enough to do without caring for a dog(or 5 hampsters, or a cornsnake). Great prayer!
You are never bored with little ones around! I love to hear children pray. Nothing is off limits!
