Saying Grace for the 1st Time

We've never been able to get Grant to say grace. He will repeat what we say, but he's never come up with anything on his own. Today I asked him to pray for our food and this is what he said:

"Jesus love me! And GLORY! (with his arms raised) Thank you for food. And I love you. I eat now. Pasta. And plates. And bowls. You not sad. You happy. And Jesus love me. Amen."

It was so sweet to peek at him with his eyes tightly shut and saying whatever was coming to his mind. And I'm not sure where "GLORY!" came from...maybe that's how they do it in Sunday School.
