Deep thoughts

Deep thoughts from Caleb in the back seat, on the way to get ice cream:


"I like ice cream."  Pause.  "I don't like naps, though.  Naps are bo-wing."

The resurrection cookie project has continued to enhance Caleb's understanding of Easter even after the fact.  The next week in children's church they had some kindergarteners acting out the women arriving at the tomb.


Teacher:  The stone was rolled away and what did they find inside??


Caleb:  Cookies!


When I helped him with his craft afterward, he showed me the sticker depicting the tomb with a dark, gaping hole and told me, "That's the oven."


Total.  Comprehension.

It's tough for a little person.  On Maundy Thursday we attended a communion service at church.  The congregation shared a potluck meal, sang hymns together, heard a message, and observed communion, all at family-style round tables.  After we had eaten and sung the first hymn, Caleb asked audibly, "Now cake?"


With that many people in the room, surely it was somebody's birthday, and why else would we sing after a meal?  He was in for another disappointment.

Me:  "That's a nice digger!"
Caleb: "I'm glad you like it."
