3 Favorites: Baskin Robins, Praying & American Flags

Michael, Nee Nee and I went to Baskin Robins for dollar scoop night on Tuesday. I've taken Michael one other time and he just had a ball having one on one attention. He loves "banilla" with sprinkles, and of course wanted to keep picking out the pink ones to eat. I think his favorite part is walking around when it's dark outside because he's rarely up that late. He loves the moon and touching the lights on the bushes. Afterwards, we walked...I mean ran (at his request) holding his hands up and down the sidewalk peering into little shops. One of the sweetest things for me was listening to him pray for Jonathan on the way to get icecream. Before we left I had to get something in the house and noticed JA was not falling asleep but rather screaming his little head off...which is unusual. When I got back to the car Mom and I prayed that he would calm down. Then Michael prayed in a quiet voice three more times, "Dear Jesus, help Jon Jon sleep. Be okay. Amen." Before we arrived to BR I called to check on JA and he was asleep. It was neat being able to share with MD how God had answered his request.

One thing MD and I try to do is find all the American flags when can when driving. Well, yesterday he found one and exclaimed, "Mommy, Amer flag! It's too beeeaaauuutiful, Mommy!" I wish you could hear how he said beautiful. Beautiful and delicious are my two favorite words that he says.
