The Prayer of a Four-Year Old

Lately Isaiah's been volunteering to pray at dinner and bedtime and we love it! Not just because of his willingness to talk to our Big Daddy, but how he does it... with eyes apparently squeezed shut, but if you look close you can see his eyes- a little sliver, and he holds his fingers up by his eyes, as if to keep himself from peeking. He even scrunches hi nose up. We'll get a pic someday when we can figure out how to snap a pic and maintain reverence in the prayer :) Here's a sample:

Deah Gahd,
Thank you for Gahd and mommy, daddy and my seestahs, and Keely[our dog, Kilimanjaro, we call Kili] and Caspian [our kitten]. Thank you for Mommy feel better and daddy pass he test. Amen (Big Grin)
Mommy was still sick and Dad had not yet passed his test, but he prays in such faith! Or just can't get his tenses right :) While we know the latter is true, we still love it when he prays because of the former.
