Rosebud, in the middle of praying, says, "and thank you for Mom and for Papa, God... Mom! Now he's listening because I called his name!"  It feels sometimes like I'm raising a little atheist.  When I tell her that God hears her prayers, she says, "Oh, but not mine."  When I talk about God loving her, she says, "Oh, but he's not HERE."  She is reluctant to pray on her own so I often pray at night instead of her in the evenings.  I will be very interested to see how this plays out as she grows up.
