From the mouths of babes #55 – Bedtime prayers

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!

 

A big thank you to everyone who linked up last week. After the Rain had me laughing throughout her post – from her daughter saying “hello Michael” to a complete stranger through to a flashmob rendition of “Let it Go”. Writing Bubble also made me chuckle with her post about the things her toddler has said lately. I especially liked the local shopping centre being called “Dementor Centre.”

 

Bedtime prayers are one of my favourite parts of our nightly routine. Both the girls now like to join in and share the things that they want to say “thank you” for each day. Sophie mostly tends to be thankful for “Mummy, Daddy and Jess-ita” although will then tend to parrot her big sister’s list. Jessica’s list can be quite extensive at times! I love hearing all the things she is thankful for – it gives me a little insight into what is on her mind and the little things that are of huge importance in her world. Some of the things on the list are what I expect – “Grandma”, “Grandad”, “preschool”, “Bear”, whereas others are a little more unusual.

 

Here are some of the more unusual things that my girls have been thankful for:

• Sophie being unwell (I’m hoping this was just Jessica listing the big events of the day rather than her really being thankful that her sister was poorly!)
• Toothbrushes
• Curtains
• The dark
• The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 16 (not quite sure what was special about those ones!)
• Footprints
• Wet hair
• Mummy and elephants (why these two things were linked together, I have no idea!)

 

And here are a few of my favourite thank you’s – these are ones that would also feature on my own list:

• Jessica being thankful for “my zip” (the scar from her heart surgeries).
• “I love you’s”
• Snuggles with Mummy
• Love

 

If you have any posts about something that your children have been saying lately, please do come and link up. The linky opens each Monday from 6am and closes on Friday at 11pm so there is plenty of time to link up your posts (old and new posts are welcome!). Please add the badge below to your post so others know where they can also link up (the badge code is below). I will also try and share posts via Twitter – please use the hashtag #ftmob and I’ll do my best to retweet them. I also have a Pinterest board and will be sharing posts here too.

 

Looking forward to reading what your little ones have been saying!
