They Rushed Putting Their 2-Year-Old To Bed. An Hour Later, They Hear THIS On The Monitor

January 27, 2016

An adorable video of a South Carolina toddler counting her blessings is touching the hearts of millions.

Kathryn and Caleb Whitt were rushing to get their two-year-old daughter, Sutton, to bed on Sunday night and skipped over the ritual of bedtime prayers. About one hour later, Sutton started reciting her prayers all by herself.

"We didn't do the prayers and didn't think anything of it," Whitt told ABC News. "We then heard on the monitor that she just decided to do them on her own. We were amazed by it because she usually rushes through the prayers. We'll have to say 'OK Sutton, say thank you for this person and that person,' but as you see on the video, she was naming everybody."

For almost a full two minutes, the Whitts recorded Sutton reciting the names of grandparents, aunts, uncles, a school friend, her mom and dad and even Santa Claus.

"She's so sweet and kind-hearted," Whitt said. "That's just the type of person she is. And this video is just a way to see that. It shows how her heart works."
