I've mentioned my nephew a few times on my blog. He's pretty funny and pretty smart. On most Friday's, my day off, he spends time at my house. I enjoy every minute of it.
When he spends the night, we have a ritual that we go through. We read "How do Dinosaurs Say Good Night", "Where is the Green Sheep" and then we say prayers. We thank God for everyone he knows and for Jesus being his friend. Every time, no exceptions. (I may have tried to skip one of the books once, wrong move.)
Today he's just napping here. My sister dropped him off and it was straight to bed. Carson's going on the Polar Express tonight, so a good nap is needed. I had just tucked him in and was about to close the door when he pipped up with, "hey, I need my prayers!"
He didn't want the dinosaur book, or to hear about the green sheep. he wanted a quick word with God. Two years old and he already knows what's important.
What lessons do you learn from the kids around you?
