I often wonder how to explain God to kids (Godparents? Any input?). Honestly, aside from going to church, saying prayers and roughly explaining why we celebrate certain holidays, I don't really know how to do so. Our little conversation on the way to church today assured me that for a 3-year-old, Owen is somehow starting to get it.
A: "Remember to be kind and gentle to all the kids at the day care."
O: "Yeah cause some kids are small."
A: "God made everyone and we are all a little different... some people are boys, some are girls, some are big and some are small."
O: "God made me really good. He made my arms so I could throw rocks and he made my legs so I could run so fast. He made my bones. Teeth are bones and God made a toothbrush so we could take care of our teeth."
Awww, so proud of my godson!! His mom is pretty great too. :)
