Guard's Prayer Dance

Whenever our family kneels down to pray, Guard will run up to Greg and yell, "me, me, me!"  He loves to pray.  Greg or I will say the words and Guard repeats the last few words of the sentence.  If it is something he really likes he will get really excited and repeat if a few times with great enthusiasm.  Lately, he has added in some fist pumps if we are praying for things that he really has strong feeling about (such as Coal, Gavin, food, etc).
Last night we were praying around Mom and Dad's bed.  Guard was on the bed and the rest of us were kneeling around the bed.  I was saying the prayer and even though it wasn't Guard's turn, he was still repeating everything.  When I said, "We are thankful for Guard...", Guard stood up, starting yelling, "Guard! Guard! Guard!", while doing rapid-fire fist pumps and doing a dance on the bed.  It was so cute and funny.  All of us burst out laughing and couldn't stop for a few minutes. 
I know - not appropriate prayer behavior, but it was so great!

I am sure Heavenly Father completely rejoices in Guard's fist pump (and probably joins him in it!)
