we certainly serve the Lord. just when i think i am lacking in my relationship with God, i get a swift reminder from my 2 year old that He is around us always. before bed tonight tuscan was pointing out all the characters in my willow tree nativity (that i keep out all year) he has a new found fascination with babies and keeps trying to tell me that there is one in his belly *sidenote later in this post. but he loves to point out baby jesus. so tonight when i put him to bed he prayed with me and repeated everything i said and added a little bit of his own requests. it was amazing, i have tears in my eyes as i type about it. his favorite part was saying amen at the end. we had been holding hands as we prayed and as he said amen he spread his arms out wide as if opening his heart to all the Lord was willing to give him. that child amazes me more and more everyday! how did i ever get so lucky?
*the baby fascination - last weekend franks older brother and his wife were in town for the funeral, they are expecting a baby in june and tuscan was very excited to see aunt enna and "the baby" but when he saw her and noticed that her belly wasnt all big and round like mine had been, he seemed a little confused....tried lifting up her shirt to search, looked underneath her on the floor...he was stumbled but we kept insisting that the baby was in there and he finally gave in to it. so much so that when they came over for lunch the next day, he insisted that we all "shhh...baby seepin" and since then he keeps telling us that there is a baby in his belly and in his head and his knees...theres babies growing all over him apparently, 23 to be exact. and yesterday i was able to share the exciting news that his BFF chase is going to be a big brother to a baby girl and tuscan proudly said "me to mom, baby..." as he lifted up his shirt and pointed to his belly! not sure if i should try to explain this one in to much depth just yet...he understands very clearly now that im the mom because i have the boobs, but apparently he hasnt figured out that only the moms can have the babies! it will be interesting to see how he handles bridget (chase's mom) at church in the morning...if its anything exciting ill be sure to do a follow up post!
have a wonderful weekend...and to my buffalo readers, enjoy the "heat wave" on sunday!!
