Mama, pray

I just experienced the most heartfelt moment in the world. The past few months I have been really missing my days at home with Elisa, so much so that I am now working 4 days a week so we have at least one weekday home together...thinking in the future that I might need more...but anyway, tonight Elisa and I were done reading books and I was tucking her into bed. We have a routine that after reading, I then kiss almost every inch of her body and she names her body parts. But tonight, she grabbed my hands and said, "Mama, pray." She seemed so excited. So, of course, I took the opportunity and we started thanking God for everything in our lives. I let Elisa take lead in this prayer and she tried so hard to keep her eyes shut and for some reason at the same time, she thought she had to pucker her lips. :)

But with each prayer she said, "thanks God for....umm...the wagons and horses...ummm...raindrops...umm....thunder...and the list went on." She never fails to leave off Tia Wendy and Fernando also. I just love her...she never ceases to surprise me.
