The innocence of children


So the whole family,(except McKylah) has had a stomach bug since late last night. Today Caden was talking to Gabe and asking him what was wrong. Gabe replied, "I don't feel good bud." Immediately Caden said, "lets say a prayer daddy." Of course Gabe says, "okay." So Gabe and I are thinking that Caden will do his rehearsed pray of, "help us to be safe, and bless the food amen." However, in this prayer he said, "Heavenly Father please make my daddy feel better." So by the time he gets to amen Gabe and I are almost in tears because of his sweet innocence, only for Caden to say, "daddy I prayed, now you feel better!" How sweet is it that my little guy thought that since his daddy wasn't feeling good all he needed was to say a prayer, and once it was done he would be better. Even though Caden is a handful Gabe and I are truly blessed to have him.


Oh and to update Caden's daddy is feeling much better. :)
