Jack has always loved singing songs. When I sing to him and the song finishes, he smiles at me and says "Mo, mo!" (his for more.) So I have to do it because he is just too darn cute! Well his favorite song in the world is twinkle, twinkle little star. He knows the whole tune and will sing it to me, although he won't usually sing along with me. Lately he has changed the lyrics to the song which makes my heart smile. (A little background on the lyrics, we have a painting of Noah and the arc and all the animals in his room as well as a gorgeous one by Greg Olsen. Every night, Jack tells us where Jee-za, No-ahhh, awk (arc), eeeep (sheep), and bee-uh (beaver) are.) Today he sang the whole song using Jee-sa, No-ahhh, Ba-pa (Grandpa), and Eee-ahh (Lisa) as his song lyrics. I don't think any of them minded it and I think it's cute that he likes all of them so much he would use them in a song.
The other cute thing he has picked up is praying and saying a-men. He has said "may-men" for a while after prayers, but now after I say a prayer he will fold his arms again, talk in high pitch baby talk, then announce may-men. He usually says a couple of these sweet little prayers, then he's done. He also uses this tactic when I want him to do something during the day. He will stop and show me to fold my arms and then he will say multiple prayers. How can you say no to a child that is praying with you?!

What a cute little guy! The prayer stuff is hilarious! In our little branch Austin and another two-year oldsay amen after the prayer but it's usually one after the other. So there's the actual amen, the group amen, then an amen from Henry and finally one from Austin (sometimes Austin gets his in first and then Henry, just depends)! Henry's family and ours were out of town for a couple of weeks and I've had people say that they are so glad to get those amens back. Nothing is cuter than small children praying!
