The prayers of a child

So I totally love listening to little kids say the prayer. It is one of my favorites. It is just amazing listenin to matthew say his prayers. He love to help say the food prayers but when we say his nightly prayers they just amaze me. he always remembers to bless grandma and grandpa, grandma judy, daad, brother, mom and brother jesus but he has now added on his list ty, and Trista. But along with that he prays for things that most people wouldn't remember or think about praying for like the mountains, rain, cows, dogs, Trucks, trains, his toys, his bed, and he always prays for President monson, Iring, and Ukdorf (I love the way he pronounces the names). i dont even have to help him really. I just kneel with him and he goes to town. The other night i was was helping him say his prayers and when we finnished i tucked him in and left him and the baby in there beds and went down stairs. then I could hear talking on the baby moniter. Matthew was continuing his prayer. He was blessing everything! including me. I need a lot of blessings:) Well then the baby started fussing and I hear matthew get out of bed then I hear him right next to the moniter so he was right by his brother and I hear him say " its ok brother. Momma is down stairs, Its ok." Then I hear him get back in bed and go back to his prayer putting his brother in his prayer again. He continued blessing everything till he fell asleep. I am just cant help but ponder on the faith of a child who just believes me that when we pray we are talking to heavenly father.
Then on sunday i ask him how primary went and what he learned. He looked at me with these big eyes and said" mommy jesus is hurt and has a big owie on his head. Then he told me I needed to fix him. I about cried. I just love him.
