The kids don't like to hold hands with each other when we say our family prayers. Not a problem when Martin is home, because they each hold one of our hands. Unfortunately, he's at work five nights a week.
So tonight I suggested we let a teddy bear take Daddy's place in the circle. It worked brilliantly, but Dylan said the following during his prayer:
"Thank you for helping us find someone to take Daddy's place when he's at work."
Poor Martin, replaced by a stuffed toy!
We've had a lovely Christmas break, and Dylan's back at school tomorrow. Edith goes back on Thursday. We've all been sick over the last few weeks, but had a great time anyway. The best part of it was sleeping in 6 days a week. No major incidents, good times had by all.
Sigh...
Back to early mornings tomorrow, but back to mornings free with my husband. Bitter sweet!
