Abby is really good at praying all by herself. When she does, this is generally how it goes (without a ton of variation):
"Father, thank thee food. Bless food. Bless Leo. Name Christ. Amen.
Leo is my cousin's little preemie boy. I love how she prays for him.
A couple nights ago Abby was saying the dinner prayers and Mike decided to help her to mix it up a little bit. So he prompted her with things like, "Bless our family" and "Thank thee for our grandmas and grandpas."
I wasn't feeling super well at the time - just the 8+ months pregnant and lack of energy.
So, Mike also prompted Abby to say, "Bless mommy that she'll feel better." She said it, but then all concentration on the prayer was gone. She looked up and started asking - right during the prayer, "Mommy, OK? Mommy, OK?"
It was so cute. I think we finally did get her to finish the prayer, but the rest of the night, she'd come up to me and gently put her hand on my arm and ask, "Mommy, OK?"

Abby is so stinking cute!!!
That is so sweet! What a little cutie. We miss you guys and are glad you are doing so great. Crossing our fingers for more time to get ready with the house before baby brother comes. Lots of hugs!!!
So, so, cute! We miss Abby (and you). We're still working on getting him to fold his arms the whole prayer, let alone saying them. He does say Amen, which is huge. So many friends who are due now and we're so excited to hear when baby brother comes. Good luck with everything!!!
How fun! Kids are the best :) I have been checking your blog waiting for an update. Glad things aren't too exciting... that's a good thing when you are 8+ months pregnant. We miss you guys too. Good luck with everything the next few weeks.
What a sweet little girl! She really loves her mommy and wants her to feel good. Relief is coming soon! I can't wait to hear how it goes with your little guy.
