thanks!
I did recite the version I grew up with for him, and at first he just shook his head and didn't want to say either one. But the other night he started saying "our" version with me, even finishing it when I left off. Guess these adjustments all just take time. My DH says not to force it. But since this is adoption rather than fostering, I do feel it's important to share what I feel about it. It is relaxing to me to have a bedtime routine and I always found our version of the prayer comforting, feeling I would be protected through the night. And the "bless So-and-so" part for the family and anyone else on my mind has always helped relieve any worries I had about others. It was an eye opener to find out how common the other version of the prayer is, though! Thanks for your feedback.
