Our Father who art in heaven...

So it dawned on me a few months ago, since they no longer recite the Lord's prayer in public school (which is where I learned it), that it would be up to me to teach it to my children. (This was before we had decided to home school Theo).

Anyways, I started praying the Lord's prayer each night when I put the kids to bed, after their more personal prayers were said. This evening for the first time, Theo started praying it with me and recited the whole thing. He had asked questions sometimes about what words meant, so I knew he was listening, I just didn't realize he was absorbing so much. It warmed my heart.

Oh and just for some comic relief here... he is- as I type this- doing his nightly sleep walk back and forth along the hallway.
