Mason is by far the most active of our children. We thought Jefferson was a non-stop toddler, but Mason has put him to shame. But the biggest surprises with Mason are the obedient and reverent moments he has. He is always quick to be "helpful" and has learned the earliest of the three to fold his arms when it's time for a prayer (even if he doesn't make it through the whole prayer). We've been making a big effort to have family prayer every night before the kids go to bed and Mason (and Jackson) often does better than Jefferson. Such a sweetheart. A couple of weeks ago we got home from somewhere past the kid's bedtime and were rushing to get them to bed. We were about to forego having family prayer just because Nate and I were exhausted, but Mason wouldn't have it. He said as best as he could "prayer" and sat down on the floor with his arms folded. Sure, we could say that he was just trying to prolong going to bed, but I think he's also helping us remember the importance of having family prayer.

Isn't it nice to see your hard work paying off. Sometimes I wonder if the kids are really getting anything from all the scripture rading and family prayer, FHE's etc. But then they do something like this. What a cute boy.
That made me laugh out loud! Cute Mason. And, I looooove his curls.
