Crawling

My little girl is officially crawling. She has been moving about on the floor by rolling and scooting different ways but last night Joey was playing on the floor with her (after Isaiah went to bed and it was "safe") and she crawled to him. I thought it was just a little thing but after Joey went to bed (Hannah is a night owl and stays up to 10-11pm) Hannah crawled over to the couch I was on! Isaiah has been "learning" to pray for months at night and dinner time we have been praying for him and lately we have let him think of his own prayers with help. It melts your heart to hear your child pray. I usually start with "Dear God, Thank you for..and he fills in. First is always Owen our dog, then usually daddy. He rarely remembers mommy:) then he runs through little boy things, my truck, the christmas tree etc.. But last night he said Thank you for Owen, daddy, mommy, Hannah and Jesus. I had to keep myself from bawling in his room. It was so sweet. I don't know how much he comprehends what he is saying but it felt like an answer to prayer. I can't count how many times I've felt like a failure as a parent, but moments like that make you want to work 10 times harder the next day!
