Tyler's prayer

Tyler is the biggest Super Mario Bros. fan I know. Here he is in his Mario t-shirt playing Mario Bros.
And here he is again...this time Mariokart.
He even had my mom (his Nonna) play...I mean, really, who can resist a sweet little guy begging you to try, even if you have played very little in your life. He'll say "it's a wittow (little) tricky for you, but it's not too tricky for ME!"

This evening he and I were playing Mario 3 on the original Nintendo, and we made it to World 7 while James and Logan watched a movie together. Tyler was SO excited to get to 'plant world'. He really wanted to keep playing, but honestly, the kiddos need sleep...and so do their parents...so we left it paused to continue tomorrow. ANYway, as Tyler was getting ready for bed, he asked to be the one to say the prayer tonight. This is what he prayed:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for my famiwy (family), thank you for our house, thank you that Santa can bring us four controwers (he really wants two extra controllers for the wii), please bless that Santa will bring me new super Mario Brothers for the wii, please bless us that we can get to level 8 tomorrow on Mario free (three). In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

I have to think our Father in Heaven gets a chuckle out of the prayers from little ones. :-)

Prayers this time of year can be quite amusing. My kids have been praying "Please bless Santa that he can bring me toys" for a few weeks now. I finally insisted that since the real reason for Christmas is Jesus, if they were going to include Santa in their prayers, they had to include Jesus too. Have to have some kind of balance, right? Anyways, cute story about Tyler!
