We've been having some windy nights here (and I mean WINDY). And since we all but live in the middle of a huge field (a new development with few neighbors so far) we get the full brunt of the wind's fury. The other night was such a night, and Cora was waking constantly - about every 20-30 mins. Around 11pm I went into her room for the umpteenth time:
Cora: (through tears) Mommy can you make it stop?
Me: No sweetie. Mommies can do a lot of things but the wind is God's domain. Remember how we talked about how he made the trees and the sky and the breezes? But what I can do is say a little prayer to Him for you that the wind will die down.
Cora: (after a pause) God, can you please make the wind be quiet. Thank you. It's Cora.
That was her first spontaneous prayer ever said.
