Night-time Prayers

When we lay Ava down for bed we have a routine. First, we'll say the whole "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer. Then, we'll all say "God bless..." and Ava will give a name. We'll repeat it, and then go back to "God bless". For some reason Mommy always gets the first God Bless. Second usually comes "Schwimmin" (aka swimming). Somewhere after that comes Ellie, Sassy, and Daddy. "Ava!" always comes last and is said with more excitement and gumption.

Tonight when we were going through our God Bless-es Ava improvised. Right on cue after "God Bless" she farted really loud and said "THAT WAS ME!" Somehow we were able to stop laughing, pull it together, and get the rest of the way through our prayer. Ava may look just like her mother, but sometimes she acts just like her father.
