Riley has recently had an interest in taking a more active role during our pre-meal prayers. He used to just wait for us to say "Amen" and then yell "Amen" and explode into wild applause. Now he is giving prayer requests. Below is an account of a recent Delp family prayer:
Missy: OK, Riley, we are going to pray.
Riley: MOMOM, POP, FEUD
Missy: Yes, we are going to pray for Granmom, Pop and the food. Dear God, thank You for this day. Thank You that.....
