A Day of Firsts
Last night as the boys & I were around the kitchen counter Malia quietly folded her arms on the granite countertop & plopped her head down on her arms. She then cauqht us all off gaurd by proceeding to give her first solo prayer.
Malia – Deawl Heavenwee Fadder (Dear Heavenly Father)
Pause, Pause, Pause… (She sweetly looks up in apprehension)
Me – Go ahead
Pause, Pause, Pause… (Still looking for confirmation)
Me – Go ahead, say it.
Malia – Deawl Heavenwee Fadder, Tankful for Mama, Dada, Bookee, Izee, Tay-tay, Austee (Dear Heavenly Father thankful for Momma, Dadda, Brooke, Isaac, Taylor, Austin)
Pause, Pause, Pause… (not sure how to proceed)
Malia – Deawl Heavenwee Fadder, Tankful for Mama, Dada, Andwu, Cobee, Andwu, Cobee, Andwu, Cobee (Dear Heavenly Father thankful for Momma, Dadda, Andrew, Colby, Andrew, Colby, Andrew, Colby(her cousins))
Pause, Pause, Pause..
Nibbling & slurping noises as she starts in on her soup.
Me – In the name…
Malia – Amen (more nibbling & slurping noises)
We had another first yesterday. Isaac wrote his first postal letter yesterday to his cousin Ali Hillam.
Isaac’s letter said,
“Dear Ali,
Malia said her first prayer.
Love,
Isaac
