Fast Like a Horse

Most nights now my boy will say his own prayers. Three year old prayers are the best, aren't they? Last night's was extra special...

Thank you for this day. Thank you for my friends. Thank that I can run really really fast like a horse.

Then, in one swift motion, he jumped straight out of his bed, ran down the hall, and ran back and jumped back into prayer position and continued...

just like that, like a horse. And, wait a minute (in the loud whisper that kids do) mom, when can i get a dog? You don't know? OK, well, thank you even though I can't get a dog yet.


I'm thinking maybe I should hide these pictures of that one month that we tried to be dog people. Poor Sadie, I hope she found some nice people that don't puke repeatedly at the smell of hot dog poop right outside their bedroom door. Poor Kaila, watching me puke all the way down the hall and being trapped by all the dog poop and vomit. I'm sorry, son, ask KaiKai, we should really never ever have a dog again. Ever.

That is the cutest prayer ever! I love 3 year old prayers! We had a 4 year old say the prayer in primary and he said exactly what was on his mind, like "bless mommy and daddy to get out of debt and have enough money to pay the bills." All the teachers looked at eachother and wondered if we needed to let the bishop know about that prayer!
