Bedtime prayers this evening featured a very tired Daddy, a not-much-behind-him-in- exhaustion Mommy, and a fresh from the bath and somewhat giggly little girl.
So not much different than most nights.
D. was saying the bedtime prayer right before it was time to tuck the sweet girl in for the night. As always, he prayed that God would bless her sleep and help her to wake up refreshed in the morning. Amen.
It was after the Amen that her stern and somewhat strident little voice piped up. "I'm not Sarah. I'm Piglet. Why did you say Sarah in the prayer?" And before tired Daddy could respond, she added, "God knows I'm pretending to be Piglet. God knows everything."
There is deep food for theological reflection here, I'm sure. But for now I'll just say Amen again!

Hehe, I love this... :D One really neat thing I got for Christmas was a book including dozens of Disney artists' renditions of Pooh and his pals in celebration of his 80th anniversary. Can't wait to take a peek at that one! (I'm writing from Orchard Park. Off to York in a bit!)
Sounds like a lovely book!
S. is now saying she is actually "Piglet sheep penguin baby llama." You have to say them all, and in that order. :-)
Happy vacationing!
