Favorite morning EVER!

Jakob broke out of his room around 5:30 this morning and came into our room and climbed into bed. It was so close to the alarm time, we just all crawled under together for a few more minutes of sleep. Around 6:15 Jakob sat straight up, folded his hands, and started praying out loud. Jared and I both barely opened our eyes to see if the other was listening and then quickly pretended to be asleep so that he wouldn't stop. It was the SWEETEST thing I have ever heard in my life. It went something like this: "Dear God, thank for our family. Mommy, Daddy, and Jakob Hardy. Bwess our day at school. Amen." Then he repeated that in different variations for a few minutes. A lot of it, as I'm sure you can tell, is part of what we pray at bedtime, but it was precious none-the-less. I had a moment of just knowing that our Heavenly Father was smiling so big. Maybe He even got chills like I did. Just now, I am sitting here wasting time, and Jakob comes up to me and says, "I Jakob Hardy" after bumping his chest with his hand. So, we started exchanging hellos. I offered my hand out to shake his and once we mastered the 'manly' handshake, we started working on introducing yourself to someone with the handshake. He is now grabbing my hand as he runs through the living room saying while shaking my hand, "Hello! I Jakob Hardy. Nice to mee choo Mommy!" What a start to a day!
