Babies do more than poop

Psalm 8:2- "from the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise"

I have been praying that God would fill aiden (our 2 year old) with the holy spirit.(like John the Baptist in Elizabeth's womb). 2 months ago we were on vacation in florida and we went to a church that flows in the prophetic and is hugely spirit led. It was awesome because Aiden was running around in the back of the sanctuary and it was no big deal because everyone was worshipping.(side note: i love churches like that where adults, kids, and infants are all worshipping together and screams, cries, running, doesn't bother anyone.) Well as he was running around I was praying over him with the same passion that I did when he was a newborn and i took him into the prayer room at IHOP in KC. As I was praying, I turned around and Aiden had propped himself up on a chair with his hands facing to heaven at his waist and he had his eyes closed and he was mumbling an unknown language. The spirit was so heavy on him. It lasted about 15 seconds and it was done, but God showed me that these babies/kids are powerful and God's spirit is all over them. Hannah, after Samuel was weaned, took him to the temple to live there, day and night. I want Aiden to call the house of the Lord his home, the place where he spends the most time. I want him to run in the presence of God. I want him to laugh, cry, giggle, shout in the presence of God. I want him to bang on the drums, make noises in the mics, play bad notes on the piano. Most of this would be annoying in a church service, but not to me, I see this as practicing worshipping Jesus. God says he is the one who had ordained this praise out of these babies. God just says to make a joyful noise and when these babies run, shout, giggle, laugh; these are all joyful noises to God.
