Ethan and his blanket

Ethan asleep with his blankie. I hope it doesn't fall apart too soon.

Ethan is the only one of the kids that sucks his thumb and has a special blankie. Any time he watches a movie he has to have his blankie. Sometimes we have to take it in the car but other times he is OK without it. If he gets really cold he always has to have it. This is actually a very cute blanket. I got it from a yard sale for $1. It is red with tractors on it and has red ties. Some of the ties are starting to fall off because Ethan uses them to twist in his fingers whenever he is holding it. Well tonight he got into bed and happened to notice a pretty big hole. UH OH. He looked at me with such big concern. I felt so bad for him. He thought maybe someone has ripped it so he had to ask Mayah and Rachel and they both denied doing anything. Then I told him it would be OK. So during his prayer this is pretty much word for word what he said:

Dear Heavenly Father. Thank you for this day. Please help us not to rip stuff. Please help us not to rip blankets. Please help us not to rip MY blanket. Help us to put it in the dryer to fix it perfectly. In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN.

Oh I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing out loud. It was hilarious. And it was so cute.

Then when I was putting Rachel to sleep she was asking me some questions. She was almost in tears when she asked, "MOM, what happens if when I become a mom I won't know how to bake"? (She had just helped me make homemade rolls). I told her that I would teach her how. Then she said, "But what if I mess up"? Too funny. I wonder if she see's how many times I mess up. I told her that I would help her and teach her. Then she said, You will still be a mom when I am a mom? I think it helped her to realize she still has a little bit of time to learn to bake. :)
