Prayers

Tonight I am tired... this lack of sleep is really getting to me. I put the girls down and let Jackson finish an episode of Bob the Builder (his latest obsession) and I laid down on the couch. Jackson came over and laid a blanket on me and asked if I was tired. I told him yes and that I have to work tomorrow night so I need to sleep good so I can stay awake while I am at work. He told me I should sleep on the couch til Dad gets home and then go to bed cause the couch is for dad and his computer. He read me a book, told me he loved me and to sleep tight. I laughed and rested til his show was over.

He came over and told me it was time for him to go to bed when it was over. We did the bedtime routine and then it was time for prayers. His prayer went something along the lines of this:

Heavenly Father,

Thankful for Heavenly Father.

Thankful for Jesus.

Thankful to see Nana and Grandpa's wedding. (We went to a wedding reception tonight with my parents... he thought it was theirs.)

Thankful to eat chicken and fries and suckers. (Yeah, I know... healthy eh?)

Bless mom sleep well on the couch til dad comes home from far away to look for her. (He is at school.)

Bless dad can find mom on the couch.

Bless mom go to her bed to sleep.

Bless mom doesn't come wake me up lots of times in my bed. (Here is where he gets confused about who is the parent and who is the child.)

Bless mom sleeps all the way til morning and doesn't drive me and Kambree and Kaylee crazy and make us get no sleep. And she doesn't need her milk in bed, just her water. And that she goes in the potty and not her underwear. And she can't eat suckers in bed. (And it just gets better!)

Name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I just love that kid!

He also told me yesterday after repeatedly running into my bottom that he was doing it because I have the biggest softest bottom in the whole wide world (he is very into saying things are... in the whole wide world). SWEET!!!
