Ava's First Prayer

We have been saying prayers with Ava at night before bedtime and we have purposely made them very simple so she can grasp the idea of praying and being thankful. One night I asked her if she wanted to pray and she said "yes". She closed her eyes and started to giggle and then said her prayer with great sincerity. It went like this...Dear God...thank you for Mommy and Daddy....(big pause) and Moose!! Moose is her stuffed animal that sleeps with her every night and who she regards with great esteem. She talks to her Moose daily and Moose comforts her when she is upset. What a sweet and tender moment.
