"I want Amen..."

When Gene and I first got married, I said I want to always eat dinner at the table together. Now that doesn't always happen but I would say the majority of the time it does. We always wait for everyone to sit and then we hold hands and say prayer. When we first started trying to get Dylan to hold our hands to say prayer he would just look at us, but eventually he started holding our hands and listening somewhat to what Gene would say. Well recently as soon as we are all sitting he starts saying "I want Amen" and then he reaches for our hands. It's too cute, and he knows we need/want to say prayer before we can eat. He will snack just a little on his dinner while he's waiting on me.

Anyways tonight when we sat down and said prayer, he just wanted to keep doing it over and over. Then we told him to close his eyes and this is what we got:

Though this toddler stage can be trying at times, he never ceases to amaze me at how much he learns. He is silly too, and makes me laugh all the time. This age has made me want to have lots of kids, I know it's a hard age, but it's also so much fun and if I could guarantee I'd have 8 more just like Dylan, maybe not as energetic, I would definitly give Gene his baseball team. I know sometimes I complain about how tiring he can be because he is so busy, but it keeps me active, which will in turn keep me young or maybe kill me young, but at least I would be having fun.
