Ok, I know that I always quote Ethan's prayers on Facebook, or that I've blogged about them before, but they never cease to amaze me.
Sunday Bed-time Prayer:
"Dear God,
I want to say I'm sorry for all the bad things I did today, because you give us all the good things in our hearts. Help me have a good day at school and stay in my seat. Thank you for all the things you give us. Amen."
Every time he prays he comes up with something new/cute/profound to say! I've never heard him say anything about "all the good things in our hearts" and I don't think that we've ever said anything like, especially in those words before. It just shows me how Ethan is constantly learning from others, and God is really working in him, giving him the words to say.
Oh, and he really did do some bad things that day. He was in trouble all afternoon. :-)
Monday Dinner-time Prayer:
"Dear God,
Um... I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, I love my parents. Thank you for my mom and my dad. Thank you for Mommy making this yummy food. Bless the food. In Jesus' name, Amen."
After he finished praying, Chris asked, "So, what was the bad news?" Ethan said, "Oh, that we wasted some water."
Haha! This cracked us up! Chris had gotten all of our drinks for dinner and put them on the table. Ethan already had a cup of water that Chris didn't notice. I grabbed the cup, drank the rest of the water, and then put it in the sink before I sat down at the table. Ethan thought that I had just poured out the water that he already had and was upset about wasting it. We laughed, told him that it wasn't wasted, that I drank it, and assured him that even if I did pour his little cup of water in the sink, that it wasn't that big of a deal.
Then, I said my own little prayer and thanked God for a little boy who is actually concerned about wasting water. :-)

Monday Bed-time Prayer:
"Dear God,
Thank you for a great day! And for us helping Wade and Gina, and... um... *what's those boys' names?* Oh, Noah! and um... Noah's brother... um... thank you for helping them move to their new house. I didn't get to see Noah tonight. He was asleep in the car. And he didn't have a shirt on. Help me have a good, good day! Amen."
Hahaha! I love how he just talks to God! Telling him all about Noah asleep in the car without a shirt...
