Is there anything sweeter than little girls saying their nightly prayers?
Oksana has a nightly ritual for her prayers. First, she must be tucked in a certain way. While all snuggled in tightly, with her stuffed cat Emma by her side, and her three other stuffed friends at the foot of her crib, she will smile at me, fold her hand in prayer and begin. If I begin to say them with her, she will stop me and say, "let me do it!" So I stop and let her begin again, usually joining in on the bigger words. She has learned to say most of her prayers by herself. Her favorite part is saying AMEN, to her much delight. When she is finished, she turns to me with a smile, and says "I love you mommy!" The beautiful words of my little Angel.
