Praying with Olivia

I decided a few weeks ago maybe we should start saying bedtime prayers with Olivia.  She got a few prayer books for her baptism but thought that she wasn't ready.  She really does seem to enjoy church when we go. I hate to say it that way but we have been a bit slackerish on going.  When I wasn't feeling well we skipped a few weeks and we have had some events and stuff that conflicted with going...I know bad...
But anywho Olivia seems to really enjoy saying her prayers.  She enjoys them so much we now say a few at nap time too.  They are cute- blessings for friends, animals, breakfast.  They are short and sweet and she loves to yell out "Amen!" at the end!

I found a great read about taking kids to church and why taking them to church. When we go to church, Olivia sits with us and we don't drop her off in the nursery.  Yes we get the stares and glares from people sometimes when she blurts out things etc.  But I think it is really important to have her sit with us.  You can read the article by clicking on the link below.
