God bless animals and aliens.

I was just saying bedtime prayers with Will. Up until tonight, his prayer has always gone like this:

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray dear Lord my soul to keep.
Keep my safe all through the night,
And wake me in the morning light.
Amen.
God bless you and everyone in the world and up in heaven,
including animals and aliens.

Tonight he told me he was too old to say the last part about animals and aliens.

Sniff...he's growing up too fast.

Sniff, sniff.
