Though it has never been our practice to say prayers before his nap, the past two days {while his Daddy has been out of town} Augustine has said, "Pray Daddy" as I am tucking him in. It's so sweet--and then we, of course, pray for Daddy. We are going to make praying before nap a regular thing, thanks to my Little Man.

Luke does a lot of weekend traveling this time of year, and Saturdays without him seem so long because we aren't busy with our normally scheduled activities that we have during the week. So yesterday, around 3:30 pm, we just needed to get out of the house. We jumped into the car {with no where in mind to go} and wound up at church. After playing at the park there for a bit, I noticed cars arriving for Saturday evening Mass, so we decided to go see Jesus. Before Mass started, we entered the chapel where the Tabernacle is located, and Augustine walked right up to it and gave "Jesus' house" several kisses. And when it was time for Communion, Augustine kept pointing to his mouth and saying, "Jesus." He broke down into a fit when we returned to the pew because I told him it would be a few more years before he could receive the Eucharist {in toddler talk, it was more like, "You can't eat Jesus yet because you are too little"}. It would have been more cute if the scenario didn't involve him throwing a tantrum while I was at Mass by myself with two little ones, but it was endearing, nonetheless.

That's adorable - I love when our kids remind us to pray. I wish I had A's enthusiasm for the Eucharist more often. Throwing a tantrum because you can't receive the Eucharist is probably one of the best reasons have one ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I need to be more careful how I act around Tavian, too. This made me laugh because walking up to communion on Sunday with Tavian I told him we were going to see Jesus, and then I was stumbling on my words and out came "I'm going to eat him". haha, he looked at me a bit confused!
