God is great, God is good

I wanted to post this video of Will--I took it with my Valentine's Day present (a new camera--I'm doing awfully well on the recipient side lately, I think I owe John). It's a fancy one that shoots videos in HD, but unfortunately our computer doesn't handle HD well, without skipping (I don't think many do). I have switched to doing clips in a lower resolution now, but this clip was too funny not to share, even if it isn't perfect.

This is Will singing the blessing he learned from school. At first he would just sing quietly while John or I said the blessing before meals, but now he shushes both of us and insists on singing it himself. As best we can tell, the words are "God our Father, once again, let us thank you for our blessings. Amen, amen, amen!" Will crescendos to the last Amen and throws out his hands like a TV evangelist--we definitely feel like the food is blessed.

Well, I've been wanting to capture this on video, so I took the camera to the table last night. He had been watching a Disney video clip on John's phone and was very upset to have it taken away and to then be forced to eat. He still wanted to pray, but he didn't sound nearly as inspired as usual (in fact, it's downright sorrowful):
