A-men

For the past month Joey and I have been diligently trying to teach Avery about prayer by including her in our family prayers. Our efforts had been unsuccessful (she tries to pull Joey's eyes open and continually screams and giggles). Today in sacrament while the sacrament prayer was being said I realized Avery was being more quiet than normal. Yes, I opened my eyes during the prayer and noticed her looking around at everyone else as she observed a familiar scene. At the end of the prayer, following the congregations Amens, she loudly says, A- men! Although she was a little loud it was a rewarding moment for Joey and I as parents. Our efforts are worth it and we had big smiles on our faces!!!
