praying the wiggles away.

Chloe: It's too hard to sleep.

Julie: Did you close your eyes really tight and just lay still for awhile?

Chloe: yea but it's too hard to sleep cuz I just keep wanting to be wiggly.

Julie: Ok well lets try again cuz it's bed time.

(Back in her room her sitting in bed)

Chloe: I just keep wanting to be wiggly, see.

(lays down and starts to wiggle)

Julie: Ok well what can we do about that?

Chloe: I don't know.

(this goes on a few different ways until...)

Chloe: What can we do?

Julie: I don't know Chlo I just asked you that and you didn't know so...

Chloe: Can we say a prayer?

Julie: (thinking DUH why didn't I think of that?) Yes of course.

So we prayed away the wiggles and I haven't heard a peep since.
I will miss my cousins sooo much.
Kendall, the one I work with, is pretty much non-verbal and yet she still is the prayer police
and makes sure we pray before every meal and sometimes snacks and also before bed.
The spirit my best little friend had amazes me, when she signs prayer I obey her and I pray.
Chloe made me pray again after bedtime prayers because Madi (our other cousin) had an accident on her horse and got hurt. So we prayed again for her to get better soon.
These prayers were even before the wiggle incident.
I love these girls so much.
It's crazy how children bring such meaningful big-scheme stuff into my mind and life.

I just hope I can take this sweet lesson she taught me to heart and pray away all my fears
for my trip, in less than a day, and just enjoy this awesome adventure.
