Prayers and stuff

We always say a family prayer in the morning before Dan goes to work and then one at night when we are putting him to bed. Occasionally we ask Parker if he wants to say the prayer. He used to say no or he would repeat some of the stuff that we tell him to say. The past few days he has been doing it all by himself! It is so cute. He says "Thank you for..." and then looks around the room and thanks Heavenly Father for everything. The first time he said his own prayer he blessed Heavenly Father and Jesus. It was too cute! I love to hear him pray even when he tries to say his own prayer while the young men are blessing the sacrament. :)

Parker has been such a good boy lately. He has actually been eating 3 good meals a day which is odd for him. He even tried some new food this past week (even more odd). He picks up on things really quickly if we are consistent so maybe one of these days we will try the whole potty training thing or maybe we will wait a few months. :) I have definitely gained a of routines lately. We are pretty consistent about how we put him down for naps and bedtime and even little things like holding his hand when we walk in the parking lot or road. So now he expects it. And for the most part, when you tell him it is nap time or bed time he happily runs up stairs.

Parker talks all day long! I am amazed at the things he is able to say. He can pretty much tell you anything he wants or needs these days. I love listening to him to talk while he plays with his toys. We like to think he is pretty smart. :) Now we just need to teach him when to stop talking... I apologize to all of the people sitting around us at church yesterday.

No post would be complete without a picture. Here is a close-up of Parker. We were testing out our close-up lenses yesterday.
