Porter Update

I'm always doing updates of Hyrum and Porter probably sounds like a scared, pathetic afterthought in our family. Really he's a mostly normal happy little kid who loves animals, is thrilled to learn new things, is not thrilled to do chores and loves to play with friends.

We had a great time at his Halloween party at school. (I'm the head room parent.) He dressed up at Luigi for Halloween and got lots of candy trick or treating.

After family therapy on Friday, we got to go out to Pizza at the new Pizza Pie Cafe in Provo. Our friends Melanie and Cory manage it. It was so fun to see them and their little one Jayden. Porter has even nicknamed him "Jayders." Pizza is one of Porter's favorite foods. It's all you can eat and Porter can pack away a surprising amount for a 5 year old!

We've been trying to encourage reverence during prayers for Porter. We got some gormet jelly beans and if he is reverent through the whole prayer, he gets one. If he says the prayer, he gets two. After church Jason asked him if he got a jelly bean or not. Porter said "yes." Jason said "Were your eyes closed the during the whole prayer?" (knowing they weren't) Porter said that even if we saw his eyes open, his spirit's eyes were closed the whole time. What can you say to that?
