Thankful Christian and/or Expert Staller?

I just had to post this because I think it's too funny not to! I could not contain my laughter tonight at some of the things Claire prayed for. We've prayed with her before bed for a long time now, surely before she understood at ALL what we were doing. We want to raise her in a home where we demonstrate through example a commitment to Christ. (We are still working on this ourselves too!)

As of lately, we've prayed with Claire like usual, thanking God for the special friends and family whom we love, thanking Him for daily activities, and asking Him to be with us and keep us and those around us healthy. Then, Matt or I start the sentence "God, thank you for..." and let her finish it. The last few days it's gotten to be quite the list! She says whomever comes to mind, and then she starts looking around the room for what else to be thankful for, like...Tasche (bag), Kreide (crayons), Fische (fish - in a picture on her wall), etc. (Update: She was really thinking on these...Klo (toilet), andere Klo (other toilet), Daddy's Klo, Dusche (shower), Mami heute geduscht (Mami showered today)!) That's all that comes to mind right now, and it's not nearly as funny when I write it out on here, but believe me, in the middle of it, it's too cute and with such a lovable, thankful to God girl, I just have to have a sense of humor about the fact that she's prolonging the bedtime routine! :)
