Jake and Prayer

Yesterday while we were out Jake picked out a stuffed Minney Mouse (you can bend her arms and legs) to give to Emily. He carried it to the counter, kept pushing it at the lady until she rang it up and then even carried it out of the store in it's own bag all by himself.
Later that night he had gotten ready to go to bed and on the way to his room I went to my room to do something. While I was in there he noticed Minnie Mouse on the bed. We played with her for a while and then I told him "Let's go night-night." Every night before I put him down we say our prayers. When he heard night-night I guess he knew it was coming up next. He starts saying "prayers, prayers", grabbed his stool out of my bathroom, brought it to the side of the bed, stood on it and folded his hands like when we say our prayers or the blessing. I looked and noticed that Minnie had her hands together as well and Jake, Minnie and I said our good night prayer...not only once but multiple times. Jamie was lucky enough to come upstairs and get in on it too. SO CUTE!!
We said good night to daddy again and on our way to Jake's room he kept pointing back at my room saying "prayer, prayer, prayer". I then realized he was talking about Minnie. Before it was all over this is what Jake ended up taking to bed with him last night.
Clemson played basketball last night so Jake was carrying around his Clemson helmet. Nothing was better then saying his prayers with Minnie and then making her wear the Clemson helmet to bed! GO MINNIE MOUSE!
