As you may have read in the previous blog, Sam has been repeating words with increasing proficiency. She's been helping to say the blessing over dinner. This is a rough script of the wondrous event:
Dad: "Dear"
Sam: "Dear"
Dad: "Heavenly"
Sam: "Fawda"
Dad: "Thank you"
Sam: "Tinkoo"
Dad: "for"
Sam: "Fork"
Dad: "the food"
Sam: "Foo"
Dad: "Please"
Sam: "Pees"
Dad: "Bless........Bless.....Sam, don't eat yet. We're saying the prayer. Fold your arms. Ok. Bless"
Sam: "Bess"
Dad: "The food"
Sam: "Foo"
Dad: "In the name"
Sam: "Na name"
Dad: "of Jesus"
Sam: "Jesus Elmo Crise"
Dad: (Snicker snicker) "Amen"
Sam: "Amen"
In the name of Jesus Elmo Christ....Amen.

It's nice to know Elmo has a higher purpose. I always thought he was meant for bigger things.
Sounds like someone's been watching a little too much Elmo... :) I have a cousin that I think named their first boy Elmo.
It doesn't take very much Elmo to become "too much Elmo."
I LOVE this! We all had a good laugh. If Sam doesn't mind, we may use this prayer ourselves some days! hehe
