Amazing 2 Year Old

Well, this week we celebrated Jed's 2nd birthday. Wow has time flown by. Unfortunately I am still waiting on photos from the great event, but I will share them once I get them. It was a crazy weekend celebrating my Dad's 60th birthday and Maxton's baby dedication. But, it was wonderful to celebrate everything all together. Getting to my point for blogging tonight, though, is that Jed is much more attentive to our habits than I realized. We were having a rather hectic evening with getting the boys fed and Steve off to his group meeting. I came late to the dinner table and started to help Jed eat. Rather than taking the fork from me to take a bite, Jed grabbed my hand and then reached out to grab Steve's. He was indicating to us that we needed to pray for our dinner. In all of our hurrying to get everything else taken care of, we had forgotten to thank God for providing for us. The timing was uncanny in that I had just heard the state coordinator for Moms In Touch speak at our MOMS Meeting this morning. She talked about the importance of prayer in our lives and in that of our children. Even if it is just the habitual prayers that our children see us perform, they are still paying attention and we are instilling in them lifelong lessons. I was definitely blessed by my little 2 year old tonight in the midst of an otherwise chaotic evening.
