Michael is pretty good at saying prayers, even without prompts. Lately, he's been giving some awesome "rogue" prayers, meaning he won't let us prompt him, and it can be pretty funny what he says.
If we don't insert a help, he'll often thank Heavenly Father for the day and then ask Him to bless it to nourish and strengthen us.
He's blessed his cars, his crayons, his toys, his monkeys, and many other things that he loves.
When he's spent time with other people that day, he usually blesses all of them by name. The other day, he even blessed "the grils" (girls) that we randomly came across that day.
But, the best prayers he's been giving started two days ago. He started with, "Thank Thee for today, and please bless" at which point we thought he would say his classic, "the day to nourish and strengthen us." But he didn't. He said, "Bless Daddy and Mommy and me, and Baby Rachel." And then he ended his prayer. After being choked up, we hugged him tight and put him to bed, overflowing with pride in our sweet, sweet son.
And he did it again yesterday night.
What can I say? I just love this little boy!

Sweet! So glad you get your name Rachel before anyone else took it!
I am still thinking you need a Dorthy... you really should make good on some of your threats LOL!
By the way I can't spell it right haha!
Woah...what? You've already named the baby?
Now, did he say Rachel first, or did you guys? I'm guess it came first, and he just prayed for her :-) Oh, and the photo of Michael smiling on the right hand bar is just soooooo utterly adorable!!
