And the heart....

This evening, as usual, while putting Mona to bed, we were reading one of her prayer books entitled "Blessed is the spot". It is actually the prayer "Blessed is the spot" revealed by Bahá'u'lláh, illustrated with cute pictures in a board book for little toddlers.
So I usually read the prayer aloud and Mona repeats the words after me, she usually repeats only the last word of each sentence.


So tonight, it went like this:
Me: Blessed
Mona: Bessed
Me: is the spot
Mona: the spot
Me: And the house
Mona: the hoose
Me: And the place
Mona: the pace
Me: and the city
Mona: the heart!!

I was in shocked!! She knew what came after city!! I was so happy!! And with a big smile on my face, i acknowledged her and we continued with the prayer and two other more prayers " O God Educate these children" and "O God Guide Me".
But it's pretty amazing for a 22months old baby, don't you think!!

Here is the prayer in it's entirety:

"Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountains, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified."
