Grandmother Caprina Harris was getting her granddaughter ready for gymnastics class Saturday when her granddaughter found out President Barack Obama is serving his last year in office.

The girl, who shares Obama's Aug. 4 birthday, burst into tears.

Harris recorded her granddaughter and posted the video to Facebook, which was picked up by The Grio.

"Why are you crying?" Harris asked off-camera.

"I'm not ready for a new one," the girl said in between sobs.

"Do you want to write him a letter? We'll write him a letter, OK?" Harris asks, which seems to calm her granddaughter down.
