Learning to pray & other Tia one-liners

Learning to pray

When Caelleb was first learning to pray Bryn or I would often prompt him on things to say. Tia is now volunteering to pray over our dinner. She actually doesn't need Bryn or my help at all. That's where Caelleb comes in. . .

Tia: Dear God
silence
Caelleb (prompting her): help our food
Tia: Help our food
more silence
Caelleb: Help mommy
Tia: Help Mommy
Caelleb: Help Daddy
Tia: Help Daddy
Caelleb: Help Caelleb
Tia: Help my brudder
Caelleb: Help Tia
Tia: Help, uh, me
Caelleb: Help momma, papa T
Tia: Help momma, pappa T
Caelleb: Help mema, pappy
Tia: Help mema, pappy
Bryndyn cutting in: In Jesus Name. . .
Caelleb: AMEN!
Tia: AMEN!


Other Tia 1-Liners

At the dinner table after an interaction w/Caelleb. . .
"Mommy, Caelleb needs to change his attitude"

Right after waking up in the morning, upon seeing a ray of sunlight shining through the drape in her window. . .
"Look, my window's waking up"

In the car, driving to the ARC. . .
"Daddy, I'm going to buy you a castle"

In the ARC locker room while changing out of our swimsuits. . .
"Is that Elmo on my underwear? What is Elmo doing on my underwear?"

These are just a few of the Tia one-liners from Friday/Saturday. Who knows what Sunday will bring!
