I'm trying to be like Jesus (kind of)

Tonight when we were putting Haley to bed I said "okay, are you ready to say your prayer?" She responded "yes, but I am just going to say it in my brain like mommy and Daddy do." And thus the habit of falling asleep while saying your prayers begins for Haley at the early age of 4.

Also, as many of you know, Haley struggles 'just a little' in the music category, both in remembering the tune and the lyrics to songs. So I was suprised to hear her this afternoon start to sing "I'm trying to be like Jesus" to her baby doll "Petito" while putting him down for a nap. It went something like this:

Haley: "I'm trying to be like Jesus." ( I, in the other room, am so proud. Then comes the next line.)
"but nothing happens"(in some made up tune, as is the rest of the "lullabye" that went something like :
"As the still small voice whispers, you're my baby, you're my baby"
"I'm trying to be like Jesus, you're my baby and you're going to sleep"
Ummm, yeah, can you tell we sing primary songs at home all the time. I am still so proud. At least she got some of it right.
