For a while now, AJ has been in the habit of saying prayers with me before bedtime. He used to want me to say mine first, then he would say a couple of things. More and more, he wants to say his prayer first and he is saying longer and longer prayers. He prays about things we have talked about or things that came up during the day. A little while ago, we took him with us to an event to raise money for Cancer. He listened to all these stories about individuals with Cancer and was especially affected by the stories of children with cancer. Ever since then, he has included prayers to find a cure for cancer (only he pronounces it cancered). He also now prays for his baby brother. I love that he thinks of what he wants to pray for all by himself. He is so sweet, he often prays for God to take care of himself too.
Dave didn't want AJ to know he had the video, so he wasn't very close to us and the sound is very low. Turn your volume up all the way and put your ear to the computer, and you might be able to hear one of AJ's prayers. The beginning is very quiet, so if you can't hear right away at all, give it a minute.

Ohio State Fair
We had a great day at the fair. AJ enjoyed all the rides and food, but he also enjoyed checking out the petting zoo and feeding several animals some carrots. I can't believe he also talked me into staying for the pig races. Seriously AJ, pig races??
AJ's favorite ride at the fair. He loved the way the cars spun fast around the corners. He would start getting excited in anticipation of each turn.
There were so many food giveaways at the fair this year. AJ was enjoying a M&M ice cream cone in one hand and dried cranberries in the next. He had to finish these before moving on to the mini boxes of cereal.
