What a moment!

So funny story...

I was called to be a ward missionary in my ward and this last Sunday I was being set apart... There was another family in the room that had 6 kids and their Dad went first to be set apart. While he was getting his blessing Belle was watching the men in the circle and I could tell she was amazed that they were putting their hands on the mans head.

All of a sudden I feel Belle slowly stand up on her chair next to me...... She puts her hands on my head and starts saying "Da ba JA ba da ba ba da ma ba ma na ma" in a whispering voice! She was trying to give me a blessing!!! I got all paniced and grab her down.... She got mad and in a very frustrated voice growled, "I am trying to bless you!"

The other kids were trying not to laugh... everyone was trying not to laugh! I was trying not to turn completely red....

Then the other family left and it was my turn to be set apart. My kids were on my lap and the men began the blessing and Belle was watching them intensely! Then she quickly slipped of my lap and within 3 seconds I felt two little hand on the back of my head.... Belle had joined the circle.

Again everyone was trying so hard not to laugh. Afterwards she was so proud of herself and she asked for a her own blessing... which she got...the whole time she had her eyes closed and arms folded. When Monkey finished the blessing she ran up and hugged me so big and with the most huge smile whispered, "I was blessed!"

That's awesome! My son hated blessings when he was that age. He freaked out when they tried to put their hands on his head.
So good job, Belle!

Probably the cutest thing I've heard in a long time. I remember when my niece Vera watched my dad gives some of us a Father's blessing and she jumped right up and sat in the chair for her turn. So she got a Grandpa's blessing :)
