Show me how to be reverent!

Danton LOVES to say prayers. But that boy does NOT know how to hold still. We have to remind both kids before every prayer how to be reverent. Keep your eyes closed, fold your arms, put your toys down, ect. A couple weeks ago it was Lydia's turn to say the prayer. Danton was given STRICT instructions to keep his eyes shut, his head down, and his arms folded during the prayer. (that is hard to teach by example. In order for us to know if they keep their eyes shut and hands to them selves we have to keep our eyes open, and often unfold our arms to correct them during the prayer.)
ANYWAY. I was watching Danton during the prayer to see that he was being reverent, and he WAS, the ENTIRE prayer. He kept his head bowed, his eyes closed and his arms folded. But his LEGS, well he was kneeling down with his bum on the floor and his feet to his side, you know how little kids kneel, and he wiggled his knees in and out so fast during the prayer that he scooted all around the living room doing that. It was SO funny.
