Family Prayer

I couldn't be more proud as a mother :)

We had just sat down to the table for dinner (sloppy joes if anyone was wondering) We all folded our arms and Blake looked at Maycee.

Maycee always folds her arms for prayer and she usually says some form of "Amen", but we have NEVER been able to get her to say the prayer. We haven't been able to get her to repeat what we say. Try and try as we have she just will look at us through her half closed eyes and give us a sheepish smile. Last night Blake looked at Maycee and asked "Would you like to say it Maycee?"

She gave the same response she always does.... that sheepish shy smile. So he began. But he said it slow enough so that she could repeat if she wanted to. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?!

SHE REPEATED EVERY WORD!!!

Of coarse it was in her little Maycee Language of some correct and some weird sounds, but you could understand every bit of it! When she started I was so surprised and happy! I couldn't believe what I was hearing!! She did so good!!!

After we all said Amen Blake and praised her like you wouldn't believe. We kind of looked at eachother with that look that says, "you dont have to say anything. I know exactly what you are thinking." We were both so happy and accomplished feeling.

We couldn't believe Maycee had just said her first prayer!
