Thank you, God, for lawnmowers, love Braxton

Wow, this has been so funny lately during our nighttime prayer time with the kids!! A few weeks ago, when we were going around saying what we were thankful for from that day, Shawn looked at Braxton and asked him, to which he replied "mah-mor" (lawnmower). We all laughed and thought that was super cute, but Braxton was the first to blurt out while Shawn was praying that God had NOT been thanked for the lawnmower like he said. So Shawn quickly said, "and thank you God for the lawnmower". It has happened several more times, but tonight was the best of all. When we sat down to pray, I asked Braxton what he wanted to pray for and he immediately said "mah-mor". I said "ok daddy, make sure to pray for Braxton's lawnmower". Braxton quickly said, "daddy mah-mor", meaning he also wanted to thank God for Daddy's lawnmower. And then very quickly added, "Poppi mah-mor"! While Shawn was praying, Braxton did not stop saying "mah-mor", "Daddy mah-mor", "poppi mah-mor"! Shawn prayed and said thank you God for Braxton's lawnmower without also including "daddy's mah-mor and poppi's mah-mor" and Braxton would not accept the prayer. We all laughed and laughed, but sweet Braxton just looked at us with a straight face wondering what in the world was so funny?!! Love that little boy :)
