Tate woke up this morning and asked me "Mom, why you don't have a baby?" I told him that we will just have to pray harder. He said, "Not softly?" I told him that we have to pray like we mean it. He said, "Let's pray". We went into the Family Room and knelt down. He wanted to say the prayer and began, "Heavenly Father, I really really really want a baby", then he told him all the reasons why he wants one. When he finished, I asked him, "Is Heavenly Father going to give us a baby". He replied, "Yes". I said, "When?" He said confidently, "On the 25th". Then he started talking about a baby on the scooter that he's been asking for... and Santa bringing Mommy a baby for Christmas...
Seriously, how do you explain God's timing to a 3 year old? And then, how do you explain that when it does happen, it takes nine months. I love Tate's innocence and honesty! He's so special and I can totally learn from his Faith and confidence in what he asks for. Maybe he's right "we just need to pray a little harder-not softly".
