"I don't want to be born."

I was trying to teach Lincoln about Heavenly Father and about prayer. He really hates praying, maybe it's because we do it when he is tired before bed. He gets mad and doesn't want to say prayers. So we end up just saying them while he does whatever he wants to do. During meals he just eats while we pray. I don't want to force him of course, but he never wants to pray with us. The funny thing is when we are at someone else's house he always folds his arms and prays with everyone else. Maybe it is because he sees other kids doing it and he is copying them. So I decided I need to teach Lincoln better about Heavenly Father. So I was telling him he lived with Heavenly Father before he was born and Sawyer lived with Heavenly Father before he was born and how Heavenly Father listens to him when he prays and wants him to be happy. After listening to me Lincoln says "I don't want to be born". Poor guy he's a little confused. He thinks being born means leaving mommy. So I got some books about Heavenly Father and prayer so maybe he will understand better. He is such a cutie.
