Oak can't quite vocalize everything that he wants so when he does something and wants to do it again he always puts his little pointer finger up to his face which translates to one more time.
We see this many times a day. He eats a cookie and immediately his little finger goes up meaning he wants one more. He likes to watch youtube videos of train whistles and after each one his little finger shoots up. We finish reading a book and he wants one more so he puts his finger to his cheek. It is really super cute.
Each night when I put Oak to bed we always say a prayer, rather I pray and Oak just lies beside me. Tonight, however, I asked Oak if he wanted to pray instead of me and he said his well-known enthusiastic "uh-huh." I said Dear and he said "Dee" and then I said Jesus and Oak said "Jees" and I said Thank you and he said "Tank ou" and I said Amen and Oak said "men." As soon as we were finished his little hand went up to his cheek and he wanted to do it again! We must have talked to Jesus 15 times saying the same prayer each time!
I just thought how amazing it was to have this little guy who loves trains, cookies and books to know that there is something so good and so sweet about talking to Jesus that makes him want to continue to do it! It is my prayer for Oak that he will continue to find the joy and peace that comes with talking to Jesus.
