I think Noah prayed for the first time last night. What's crazier is the prayer was answered...I think. It's hard to figure out what a 2 year old means when he talks sometimes but I'll explain what happened.
Almost 2 months ago, Noah lost his 'blue pass' (blue pacifier) so he's been making do with his 'why pass' (white pacifier). We haven't bought any new pacifiers because we are trying to ween him off of them. The problem is the more we try to ween the more possessive he becomes. He had pretty much forgotten about the 'blue pass' until a few days ago when all of a sudden he started talking about it. 'Blue pass gone' has been uttered a few times. Well last night he mentioned it to Him.
Each night after we put Noah in bed we say a prayer. Jenna and I each say the same prayer with him. It's short and simple and when it concludes Noah repeats 'Amen' and then adds a 'Night-night Ga' (Goodnight God). However, lately I've said a real prayer after the other rote prayer. At the end we still say 'Amen' and goodnight to the Almighty. Last night it was different though. I prayed to God with Noah and then before I could say 'Amen,' Noah blurted out 'Blue pass gone Ga, blue pass gone.' Then I said Amen to be repeated by Noah.
I walked down the stairs chuckling to myself. I don't know if Noah was praying to Ga (God) for the return of his pacifier or just letting God know since Noah likes to keep everyone in his life informed. Just the other day he told the cashier at Sam's her shirt was blue, so maybe he was just letting God know in case He missed it with all the other things He has to keep up with.
Flash forward to this morning. Jenna calls me at work and says 'You'll never guess what Noah found underneath our dresser!'
Of course, I knew exactly what he found and I bet you know too.
