Porter's prayer

So lately I have been working really hard with the kids to help them not only to pray on their own but to think first of what they want to say. I don't want them to say a memorized prayer I want them to learn to talk to their Heavenly Father. We have been teaching them they can pray for things. Then the kids each take their turns at night and they say their personal prayer and then we say family prayer. Anyways. It was Porter's turn to pray and he starts saying "please bless, that tomorrow I can be four and that I won't have anymore birthdays because I like four and I don't want to be 6,7,8, or 1,2,3. But I can be 11, I like 11." It was really hard not to bust up laughing. He really loved being four and it was a sad day when he turned 5. The funny thing is that was in September and he is still pretty sad about it. What a funny kid.
