Another non-Christian popping in- I too knew the "before I die"version of the prayer, though I do like some of the other ones here much better.

We had a similar issue with dinner prayers with our fson. We say our blessing in Hebrew and for a while we took turns. Most nights we would say our Hebrew blessing and sometime our fson would say "thank you for the food, Jesus Christ amen". After a while he asked if we could say the Hebrew blessing in English (Blessed are you Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, creator of bread of the earth). So then we would alternate in Englisha and Hebrew. Now we only say it in Hebrew, along with other blessings in Hebrew.

I think that as prayers of often things of both routine and also comfort, it is best to go at a pace the children are comfortable with. And it sounds like your son is making the transition at a rate that he can cope with. I hope it continues to go well for you.
