Everyone watches their kids during prayers, right? I love to see what they do. Tonight at dinner I got a particularly good show.
When everyone folded their arms, I glanced over at Edward. Usually, he's busy shoving food in his mouth. Not today. He pulled his little hands against his chest and scrunched his face down. Over and over during the prayer, Edward would pull his hands away, look at his palms, and then pull them back into position. Each time tucking his head down to look at his hands.
I could have watched him all day. Too soon the prayer was over and he moved on to eating. But I will never forget my sweet 14 month old son trying so hard to fold his arms.

Edward During the Prayer

One of Grandpa Joe's favorite story about John when he was Edward's age was when John made the cow noise. We would hold our cupped hands to our mouths to make a realistic sounding cow sound and John would hold his hand flat to his mouth and say "moooo."
I was showing Edward the same thing this weekend and his immediate reaction was exactly like his dad's from thirty years ago.
