We always kneel in a circle for prayer as a family at bedtime, after we have read our bedtimes stories and scriptures. It is quite an adventure when you have small children. Never so much as when you have a 2 1/2 year old. Tonight was not exception. It is always a battle of the wills with Evan. Trying to get him to join the circle and stay quiet during the prayer is so fun. But tonight he got us all laughing, actually snorting, hysterically. With all of our coxing, we got him to kneel with our family. His older brother and sister were sitting reverently, being good examples. We all started to fold our arms and bow our heads while Evan starts to grab his nose with two fingers and plug it. Then he snorts in real deeply, making a very loud sound, and announced to us "I'm a pig!" He does it again and says "Anna, be a pig. Riley, be a pig" I can't help but laugh out loud while Brandon is trying to remain reverent, waiting for the moment to pass. Then Evan, between loud snorts, looks up and says, "Daddy, be a pig!" Brandon reluctantly grabbed his nose to snort as Evan turned to me. Before he even said "Mommy" I plugged up my nose and snorted. Evan got the biggest smile on his face, probably because he realized that he has complete control of his family. We had to love the joy of this moment, though. We held off prayer for one more moment so we could get a short video. Have a great laugh and a good night. -P-

Those were the pig noises ever! He reminds of the little brother on A Christmas Story. Classic.
He is the cutest pig I have ever seen
