A child's prayer

So tonight I had the pleasure of babysitting my niece and nephew(see pictures cause they are so cute!).

Tanner, who is almost 2 went to bed without a fight - praise God, because that never happens!

Brooklyn went to bed pretty easily as well, after reading 2 stories, brushing her teeth, going to the washroom,turning on her music, fixing her night, getting into bed, saying goodnight, going to the washroom again(!), and then getting back into her bed. I had settled on the couch to watch a movie when I heard a little voice...

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

She then went on to say..."God Bless, Mommy and Daddy, Aunt Denise..."and the list went on for a while, including her stuffed animals, dolls and Tie Domi(he's her best, imaginary friend!).
