Nicholas has a Mickey Mouse bank that someone brought him from Disneyland. I started giving him a few coins for being helpful and stuff like that. Tonight we were talking about it as he was winding down before bedtime. I asked him what he would buy with his bank money. He apparantly has a list going. It includes new doors for his room, a new chalkboard, more dinosaurs, some new shoes, a new garbage can and a new bag for it. Its nice to dream I guess.

A little later, I asked him if he would like to pray. When he said yes, I asked him who he would like to pray for. Instead, he just started praying… “Dear Jesus, thank you for doggies and Leazas (his imaginary friend we think) and for kitties and for windows and for bones and bones for kitties too”. After a little pause, I asked if that was it, to which he said, “Jesus name, amen”.

He never ceases to amuse and amaze me.
