Corbin's Development

2007-01-20

Corbin's first prayer!

Mommy spent most of the day reading books on child spiritual development for her seminary classes, so Corbin must have learned something by osmosis. He was playing by himself while his dinner was being made, and climbed up to sit in Daddy's chair where he started "reading" his Bible. His favorite story is when Jesus was lost in Jerusalem at the temple, so he started loudly calling out, "Jesus! Where are you?" It's very cute. But then for whatever reason, he bowed his head and prayed out loud, saying thank you for everything he could see. The Bible, the high chair, his Mommy. He interrupted himself to tell Mommy to be quiet (who had folded her hands), because "Corbin do it." Then he finished and said amen. Mommy clapped and cheered. Sadly, Daddy was out of the room, but he was very proud, too.

Corbin is 26 and a half months old. :-)


P.S. to Nana and Grandma: I added several books to Corbin's wish list today. I hope he doesn't have to wait until his birthday to get some. (But no rush, because I also ordered plenty on my own.)
