Thank you, God, for making equipment. (Usually he goes through a list of every piece of equipment he knows like backhoes, excavators, dump trucks, skid steers, tractor scrapers, cranes, fire trucks, garbage trucks, etc.)
Thank you, God, for making green beans and guitars and garbage trucks and boxes. (I thought he must have learned the art of alliteration during his first week of preschool but then he threw in boxes.)
Thank you, God, for making Fidel and Humberto. (Fidel and Humberto pick up our grey trash can on Fridays between 10 and 11am and Wyatt adores them.)
Thank you, God, for Grandpa and Grandma and Jesus. (I had to check in afterwards on whether he said Jesus or Cheez-Its. Last night he corrected me when I said, "Yes, thank you for Jesus," and he said, "No, Mommy, Cheez-Its.)
Amen
It's interesting how the things we are thankful for evolve over the years. Hearing Wyatt's unedited prayer encourages me to do a little less editing when I talk with God. I'm also reminded of the gift of knowing the source of all that is good and the joy that comes through expressing gratitude to our maker.
Holly took the video below this morning. You have to turn up the volume to hear Wyatt's shrieking.

Love this - both Wyatt's prayers and the video :) Made my day!
Hilarious! I almost peed my pants at the cheezits part. I'm glad you're keeping track of the prayers because you are going to love reading them someday.
SOOOOO fun, I love how he steps closer to you at one point. More videos please!!! I would love to hear him talk more, so precious about the prayers. Love you, call you tomorrow as I drive out to Aurora to get a new social security card for Charlotte. Scott signed hers with his name. Doh.
