What Gavin Knows About Prayer

I usually keep the baby monitors on in the morning if I leave the kids to play in their room while I get ready if I need to. This morning, Averi was not happy at all to have been left in her crib and she was letting us all know it. Gavin was making his bed/walking around without pants/playing/telling me "Um...I'm almost done making my bed" when I would holler at him to gauge his progress (making bed = 27-minute process today) and was also saying really sweet things to Averi in the high-pitched voice he uses with her. I was hurrying as fast as I could so that I could relieve Averi of her obvious mortal peril when I heard the following come over the monitor:

(High-pitched voice:) "Avi, maybe you could say a prayer to Heavenly Father to help you stop being so loud."

I am so grateful that Gavin listens when we tell him that you can pray to Heavenly Father about anything. Really - anything.
