Evolution of Ally's Prayers

7/15/12
This last week Allyson has started to pray on her own without any promptings.  In true Allyson fashion she just decided she wanted to do it on her own and will often request to say the prayer "by self".  It is funny she will say the prayers for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or often all three) but she will not say it for our evening prayer.  Funny girl tells me "i do it at dinner (meaning any meal)" or "I do it soon" which means I don't want to do it now I will do it another time far in the future.

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank you for the sunshine
Thank you mommy and Ally be safe
Bless Grandma and Papa
Bless mommy and Ally to see the monster when driving (a funny sculpture we see on our way to town)
bless daddy on fire engine be safe
Bless nana and papa in their house
Name Jesus Christ Amen

Then she realized she forgot to bless Uncle Brandon so we had to have another prayer

Bless Uncle Brandon on mission
Name Jesus Christ Amen

Ally most often prays with her eyes open, she looks around for "inspiration" for her prayers.  She blesses anyone sitting at the table and every item of food on her plate (and sometimes anything in the room).  So cute.  "Bless the burrito, bless the tomatoes, bless the sauce, bless the juice"

Allyson now tries to shorten her prayers by saying "please bless everything" and ending her prayer. When I told her she forgot to bless the food she said "no I not, I bless everything".  I was too surprised to protest.  Now we are working on adding a few more specific things back into her prayers.
