FIRST PRAYER

Both the boys are pretty good about volunteering to say the mealtime prayers. Blane's gotten quite good at saying them on his own, but Tobin has always needed one of us whispering in his ear to make it through. It's the effort that matters, and we're always proud that they try.

But at dinner tonight, Tobin held his own as he offered the dinner prayer, sans help from mommy or daddy. He did great too! Remembered to bless the food, asked for mommy's sore back to feel better, and a couple other relevent items. It was awesome!

It continues to amaze me how much he picks up - especially from his older brother. I'm glad they're so close, and that they are such great teachers and students of each other...most of the time.
