Your First Prayer

H, today is Martin Luther King Day.

I had to work, but mom was off, and she kept you home from school all day for fun.

I don’t think you got out of your Frozen princess dress all day.

And you know what happened?

You got your toenails painted for the first time!

It was adorable.

I came home and you wanted to show me your toes.

I looked down, and your toenails were pink!

You could not be cuter.

And then at dinner tonight you stunned us all.

I finished the prayer, and as soon as I was done, you asked if you could pray.

Your mom and I were smiling big as we bowed our heads with you.

You mumbled real soft and quiet for about ten seconds and then announced loudly:

“A-men.”

Gosh.

I love you.
