The coat

Today Emily fell asleep in the car after church. I took her upstairs, took off her coat and shoes and laid her in her bed. She didn't even open her eyes. Two hours later I walked into her room to find a little girl standing in bed with her coat ON.

"What?" I said to myself. "Did I leave her coat on? No. I know I took it off."

I must have left the coat on the chair. Emily pulled it through the bars and put in on.

Just like Daddy

This morning I was talking to Jessica while Emily was playing in the kitchen. I leaned against the stove crossed my legs and was drinking my coffee when I see Emily come over and do her best to imitate me. She leaned agains the stove and crossed her arms. I think if she had crossed her legs, she'd probably have fallen over.

Lord, let me be a good example for her!

Praying

Tonight I told Emily it was time to pray before bed. She reached for her doll and folded her dolls hands and looked at me to pray.

She also almost always asks me to pray more after I say Amen. I wonder if that is what God is thinking when we say Amen.
