March 1: "Please God, help me with my practicing."

Elijah has learned how to do somersaults. He will only do them in his sister's room, so today we went in their so he could practice his somersaults. Reese and I were off to the side to give him room and I see him look up to the ceiling and say, "Please God, help me with my practicing." My heart burst. We pray with Elijah often but it's always us initiating and praying together. This was the first time I had ever witnessed him praying himself. It was such a proud moment as a mother. He then proceeded to ask God for help before every somersault. Reese really enjoys watching her brother so she made an attempt at somersaults too. Her technique is to put her head on the floor and push it around the room. So sweet. :)
