Today

Titus told his teachers at mom's group that they could come to heaven too, after a story about candycanes symbolizing Jesus' death and resurrection.  He apparently correctly answered their question about where you go when you die. 

I made Isabele a sling carrier for her baby doll(s).  She asked me if she could wear it "for ever and ever and ever".  I told her yes, just not in the bathtub or in her bed.  When she spilled my tea on it, she promptly removed it for dinner.  She had to have it back on as soon as she was done eating.  And she wandered around after her bath (while I was getting her PJ's) stark naked, save for the baby sling and a baby. 

Upon reading a new book (to the kids) that I got as a gift at mom's group, "The legend of the CandyCane", we had a very long and interesting conversation about why the soldiers beat Jesus and made him bleed and what happened to them and about heaven.  Made all the more interesting by my attempting to find words and rationale to explain all of this to Titus and Isabele at ages 3 3/4 and 2.  And Titus' best question was, "For real, how does Jesus get into your heart?" (while patting his chest).  So I explained that Jesus is kind of like air, he's everywhere but we can't touch or see him, and that it is His spirit that is really cool and just gets into our heart when we ask him to.  He then said, "oh yeah, he is really cool and always does good things."

I think there was something else of interest today, but after the bedtime discussion, I honestly can't remember what it is.  If you remember, Hannah, comment and maybe it will trigger my memory.

It is amazing to watch God working in my kids and to watch their brains try to put it all together and come up with something that they can kind of understand.
