Patience

Sage is learning patience. The hardest time for him is when dinner is in front of him, his plate is fixed, but we haven't prayed yet. We have recently started to make him wait to start eating until after we pray. This particular evening, he was very hungry. Sage was sitting in his chair waiting for us. He pointed to his plate and said peas (please). I told him he needed to wait for the rest of us and we needed to pray first. He promptly folded his hands babbled some Sage babble and then said "Men!" (amen) meaning he had prayed and was ready to eat! So cute and so funny! He still had to wait for the rest of us.
