Blessing of the meal

One thing I have always admired and learned from my husband is saying the blessing before each and every meal. We always hold hands and say it together when we are together at the table, which we try to do as much as possible. Cooper has joined in on the holding hands part for a while but now he waits and prompts us to all join hands and recently we asked him to say the blessing for us and he did a great job. He did it once a couple weeks ago, but last night he did so good. The words were quick and quiet and in his own language, but many of them started with the letter "G", so we know he was talking to God. He was so proud, as was I! He is even working on trying to make the sign of the cross, he's got it half down. What an angel our little Cooper is.

I just had to share, because not only was it so cute but when I saw the smile on his face and how proud he was and what we were actually teaching him, I truly felt my heart just fill up.
