Our 22 month old

It's amazing what Lydia will come up with...

Lydia is insistent on saying "bray-hers" (prayers) before she eats anything. If we are still assembling the meal she'll sit in her chair with her arms extended to hold hands and repeat, "say prayers, mommy". She bows her head while clasping hands and then says "Amen" before she's given her food. We also pray for people before she goes to bed. I'll say, "Who do you want to pray for, Lydia?" Her response is always initially, "Daddy, Guinney." Often after we pray for them she'll repeat, "I pray daddy." Some other frequent requests are "pray God" "pray Jesus" and then any one of her family members or friends, usually the ones we've seen that day. One time she asked to "pray animals." What a true sweetheart. I am in awe of the depth of interest and understanding she has regarding her relationship with the Lord - what a blessing.

Here's a set of video clips of our "Boogles". As you can tell her attention span for this type of activity is pretty limited. Actually, her motivation is to "see Lydia" - she likes to watch herself on the camera replay.
