Caroline's prayer

When Caroline first started saying prayers, we used to say the same prayer each time. Then we realized that we weren't teaching her how to pray by saying some "canned" prayer all the time. The last couple days, Caroline's prayers have been very conversational. It's so amazing. She started praying "thank you (for) this day" which she's picked up from the way I say prayers.

Here was her lunch prayer:

Jesus, thank you (for) this day.
Thank you (for) Abby playing with me.
Thank you (for) Abby playing in my sand box.
Thank you for Charlotte.
Thank you for Daddy.
Thank you for food.
Amen.

Her friend Abby entertained her this morning... although, Caroline is thankful for Abby at practically every meal (she even interjects when we are saying the prayer).
