SAY THIS
Who made you? God made you!
When you go into your baby’s room, look in their eyes and say, “Good morning! God made a wonderful little (boy, girl) and (his, her) name is…(name of child).” (Touch your child on the nose as you say their name.)
While feeding your baby this month, look them in the eyes and say, “God made your beautiful eyes. God made your strong legs. God made your sweet mouth. God made your unique little voice. God made your soft, round belly.” Continue in this way and cele- brate the wonderful human God made that you call son or daughter.
Cuddle with your baby this month and pray, “Dear God, You are our Creator. You made us in Your image and we praise You for it! Help me to see (name of child) as Your beautiful creation and come to know You in a better way through (him, her). God, You are so, so good! Thank You for letting me be (name of child)’s (mom, dad). I love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Sing the following words to the tune of Where Is Thumbkin as you bathe your child: God made [child’s name]. God made [child’s name]. Yes He did, Yes He did. (Repeat)
