The other night, Tommy and I were reading before bed and we read a book on being thankful. Taking advantage of the teachable moment, I started talking to him about the things I was thankful for. The conversation went something like this:
Me: "I'm thankful for so many things. For you and Daddy, and Dorsi, and all of our family and friends, and for our house and our food. What are you thankful for?"
Tommy: "I'm thankful for the zoo."
Me: "Ok, well let's pray to God and thank him for all these things. Maybe you'll remember more. Dear God, thank you for Tommy and Daddy and Dorsi, for all our family and friends, for keeping us safe, and for taking care of us."
Tommy: "And thank you for the zoo."
