...and be healthy

As an adult I notice sometimes my prayers can seem monotonous. I get lazy and have to snap myself out of it and remember to put thought into my prayers. Nighttime prayers aren't hard to change up but mealtimes....how many different ways can you be thankful for and bless your food? This has become very apparent to me as we're teaching Alekisio to pray. He will willingly say mealtime prayers, but bedtime prayers are a struggle. There was a period where he would say bedtime prayers out loud. At that time I was pregnant and so was Naomi. The doctors were having some concerns about Braylen so we were asking for alot of people to be healthy. Now every time we pray we hear,"and be healthy" in the background until whoever is saying the prayer remembers to say,"and be healthy". I have to of course be the grown up and not laugh, but he's too funny sometimes. I try to remind him not to talk during prayers, but at least I know he's paying attention!
