Learning How to Pray.

We've been overhearing you pray independently quite a bit lately. For instance, you thought you lost your special turtle necklace daddy gave you, but after days of searching you finally found it and completely on your own you closed your eyes and said, "Thank you Jesus for helping find my turtle necklace. I love it SO much. He helped me find it mommy!"

And when you received a little stuffed turtle as a treat for a great first day of preschool, I saw you in the rear view mirror, your little eyebrows raised high and big eyes closed, "Thank you for my turtle God!"

You are also learning a lot about God's ability to comfort us when we are in pain. When I bumped a bruise on my knee, you saw me wince and sit down in pain. You hurried to my side and said, "It's okay mommy, Jesus can help you feel better. I can pray for you ... " and you did just that.
