Are you God?

Andrew and Daddy have been sharing some Bible stories at bedtime. Andrew has a little children's Bible and another book of Bible stories. I'm not sure exactly which one they read at bedtime - or how many stories. I do know that Andrew says a short prayer at dinner time that sounds something like this:

"Thank you God... for my Daddy. For my Mommy. For Abigail. For Rugby. And thank you for Jesus. Aaaaaaaamen."


That's generally what it sounds like, give or take a few 'thank you's'.

So when Ryan came down from bedtime chuckling this weekend, I didn't know what to expect. He had read some stories with Andrew, and then Andrew looked at Daddy and asked:

"Daddy, are you God?"

Heh. Not exactly, little buddy. Ryan explained that Jesus is God. God is in heaven. Some of those basics. But how do you begin to explain this to a two-year-old? This is new territory.

Oh - and one more. Just tonight I was giving the kids a bath. I start bathing the kiddos, then Ryan comes and takes one of them and gets them in pajamas and whatnot. Tonight he came and got clean Andrew out of the tub. He wrapped him up in a big towel and picked him up.Andrew was all swaddled up and he LOVES this. "Aww, baby Andrew," Daddy teased him. "Are you a baby?"

"I'm baby Moses!" Andrew says. Silly kid. Gotta give him credit. He's got a great memory!
